Bugeye + Christina Mantis

Bugeye are a fierce, female-led five-piece from Croydon, delivering a heady mix of gritty guitars, retro synths, and sharp, socially

conscious lyrics. Formed by childhood friends Angela Martin (vocals, guitar) and Paula Snow (bass), who bonded over music growing up

on a council estate, the band later welcomed Kat Pihl (keys), Lex Giggs (guitar), and Ana (drums) to complete their explosive line-up.

With a bold DIY ethos and a reputation for riotous, high-energy live shows, Bugeye are a driving force in the UK’s underground scene—

for fans of St. Vincent, Le Tigre, John Grant, and Bones UK.

Exploring women’s roles, relationships, and the everyday revolution where individuals create change, Christina Mantis invites you to see the world differently. Her sarcastic reflections on personal life and society blend vintage rock and punk influences with bold lyrics that challenge stereotypes.
