Jake Bugg’s self-titled debut is lean, sharp, and confident. Released when he was just 18, the album draws from early rock and roll, British folk, and a bit of punk attitude, all delivered with a clear sense of purpose. His voice is rough around the edges in a way that fits the songs—quick bursts about working-class life, growing up fast, and trying to find a way forward. Tracks like “Lightning Bolt” and “Two Fingers” showed he could write catchy songs without smoothing anything out. It is a strong first statement from an artist who arrived fully formed.e band’s more playful past. I put it up there with the band's best.
