Bed Bug Guru
Bed Bug Guru is a sludgy alt-rock band formed in 2022 among college friends who came together bonding over bands like DIIV, Duster, and Modern Color. Wanting to sound like a “bad trip,” the band’s output and live show drives off pedal effects and glitched out visuals. With their debut LP Double Scoop being recorded live to tape, Bed Bug Guru wanted to create an immersive experience for the listener meant to scratch a certain itch in your brain. Think shoegaze meets noise rock/slacker rock vibes meets heavy and grungy slowcore, but also catchy.
Bed Bug Guru is Jake Knoechel - guitar and Shane Malone - bass, vocals. Drums on the record performed by Cleburne Wilson.
