A Bug’s Life
Insomnia bleeds into isolation and disillusion until life itself feels reduced to something fragile, a bug’s life. Super Creeps’ new EP captures that sensation and turns it into an anthem for a generation weighed down by uncertainty. The phrase “totally broke” runs through the songs as more than a financial state, becoming shorthand for exhaustion shaped by precarious jobs, unstable housing and relationships under strain. The lyrics strike with urgency rather than polish; when the band shouts, “Stop cease and desist, unalive can they still resist,” the effect is deliberately jarring, fragments of collapse and defiance that mirror a refusal to accept systems offering no protection. The sound mirrors this unrest. Lo-fi garage grit functions not as a pose but as testimony, with distortion, hiss and feedback woven into the storytelling. Every imperfection reflects the insecurity of lives lived without safety nets. Even the title, never sung outright, hangs over the record as a metaphor, suggesting fragility, survival and the pressure of larger forces pressing down on the individual. For young listeners, the image will feel uncomfortably familiar. More than just a set of tracks, the EP becomes a raw snapshot of disenchanted honesty, a scream wrapped in distortion that captures the precarious reality of a generation.
