BEX Drops New Single ‘crybaby’ 

Rising punk powerhouse BEX has unleashed her first single of the year, ‘crybaby’. Tackling the deeply ingrained issue of female oppression, the track is raw, unapologetic, and refreshingly fun.

The single was crafted alongside Sam Matlock (WARGASM) and Sam Cramer (Future Humans) and is released via BEX’s own outlet, “SCUM.” “‘crybaby’ is a representation of female oppression,” BEX explains. “Throughout history, women have been deemed the weaker sex and the property of men. This track explodes those ideas. With references to a Molotov cocktail, ‘crybaby’ represents the built-up rage exploding out of today’s women as injustices continue around them.”

“In life, we can close our eyes to inequality and live blind and naive to the facts (the ‘crybaby’ eye masks in the music video represent this). It can be easier to ignore the ‘little comments’; it can be easier to not ‘cause a scene’; it can be easier to just ‘not care’. This doesn’t make it right; this doesn’t make it ok; this allows it to continue. It is our choice to remove the mask and fight back. You just have to be prepared for what you see.

‘crybaby’ is about not letting go. It’s about holding that grudge with you every day and using it to fuel your mission, using it to make a difference.”
