Buggin take aim at gender tokenization with “Not Yours” off upcoming debut LP (listen)

Chicago hardcore band Buggin have shared the second taste of their anticipated debut LP Concrete Cowboys, which arrives 6/2 via Flatspot. New single "Not Yours" is a groove-infused rager with anthemic shouts from Bryanna Bennett, who uses the track to take aim at the tokenization they've experienced in the hardcore scene: "A more personal one about dealing with the tokenization of being seen as a girl in hardcore. I’m non-binary and I hate being thrown in ‘female fronted’ categories. We just want to rock without people making it weird or only liking us for that reason." Listen below.

Buggin play The Tribes of Da Moon at NYC's Bowery Ballroom on August 19 & 20 alongside Zulu, Move, Soul Glo, End It, Truth Cult, Thirdface, Burn, Adrienne, Playytime, Kharma, Bleed the Pigs, and more. They also play Detroit's Tied Down Fest, the UK's Outbreak Fest, and they do a Europe/UK tour with Spaced. All dates are listed below.
