Bug Seance
Bug Seance is a five-piece heavy and dreamy band based in Portland, OR. In its five years of existence, the project has evolved to become a thoughtfully crafted blend of emo, post-rock, and shoegaze elements. In 2022, Bug Seance had the opportunity to play with Philly-based emo legends Algernon Cadwallader on their west coast reunion tour. Bug Seance has also played alongside acts such as Glacier Veins, Glitterer, Fred Mascherino (of Taking Back Sunday), MAITA, and Soft Kill.
Since 2021 the Bugs have embarked on three California tours, a handful of short runs in Washington state, a jaunt through the mountain west, and a week-long east coast tour. Their latest EP "I'm Right Here" may be their best work yet, professionally recorded in Portland and layered with twinkly synth lines, reverberating vocals, and distorted guitar riffs. The six tracks aim to entrance the listener in varying levels of diverse soundscapes, from guttural screams to delicate vocal melodies. All of these layers speak to the band's authenticity and, above all, their refusal to conform to one single genre. The music of Bug Seance brings to you a fully new sound-- one that feels visceral, packed with emotion, and real.
