Four-piece punk powerhouse **Purple Disturbance** are hitting the road with their raw, high-energy sound and a stack of new material in tow!

Following the release of their latest singles **‘Sara Lee’** and **‘Rob Lowe’**, the band are gearing up to unleash their debut EP ***BUGALUGS*** before taking it across **New South Whales, Queensland, Victoria and South Australia**.

***BUGALUGS*** is a deliberately raw and unapologetic nod to the band’s explosive live sound. More than just a collection of songs, the EP serves as a time stamp, capturing the final stretch of their teenage years and the strange, chaotic space between adolescence and entering the real world.
