Behind The Strained Heart: An Interview with Singer Jake Bugg

  Seeing Jake Bugg for the first time in person is a little daunting. In so many of the promotional pictures he’s appeared in, he’s wearing a perpetual scowl, a look of world-weariness that translates to his outward demeanour in real life. We approach him about it, and he cracks a smile, relaxing his face and lamenting the journalism in the UK. “Some of the journalists … Continue reading Behind The Strained Heart: An Interview with Singer Jake Bugg
