Having made a splash in 2016 and 2017 with airplay from BBC 6 Music, Steve Lamacq and rave reviews from the likes of TeamRock, God is in the TV, female fronted, disco-punk band, Bugeye, return with their new single, ‘I’m Not the One’ and a UK tour with sold out shows.
Taking inspiration from early pop punk bands such as, Siouxsie and the Banshees and Altered Images with a visual nod to David Lynch and punch-drunk productions, ‘I’m not the one’ sees the band take on a slightly darker pop approach than previous offerings, with a video production debut from front women, Angela Martin as the music video director and producer.

When dreams in the waking world don’t come true, we expect escapism in our dreams at night, but often receive the opposite which this song and video explore. It's a piece about isolation, about an inner pleading for everything to be ok in the morning, but instead we’re plagued with nightmares. The lyrics repeat to represent the continued struggle of how we are all waiting for something, mostly an unarticulated something and that we, as humans, can only have respite for a fleeting moment.
Written by Bugeye’s front women, Angela Martin, the song revisits, on a more personal note, taking care of her Mother in her final weeks of life in 2013 where diary notes that later influence the song state; I’m not the one that saves the day, I’m not the smart one that thinks of a cure, but maybe tonight I’ll think of something to ease the coming days to give you peace.
The band, who are made up of Angela Martin (Vox, Guitar), Paula Snow (Bass) and Jack Houston (Drums), are from East and South London.
