Review By Darren McIntyre
BEX is a flame-haired pocket rocket punk rock ball of energy spice with a delectable enticement who is known for her raw & edgy sounds and who has a real DIY ethos, we get big riffs with honest no bs lyrics. 2024 kicked off with a support slot to the fabulous Saint Agnes which was hot on the tails of 2023 and saw her sharing the stage with the likes of WARGASM, Witch Fever, Future Humans, TRUNC, UPGRADE London. BEX brought us her debut EP back in October and blasted her music at many festivals up and down the country, this has enabled her to hit the road once again to deliver a punk-infused rock n roll juggernaut that crashes into Glasgow tonight and right into Audio where she is just about to take the stage. The place is filling up nicely as BEX and the boys explode onto the stage and drop the colossal beast that is

Slave To The Grind – BEX chats with the crowd and asks us to move around and dance to this pumping groove-laden beast that comes armed with another killer rhythm fill that lets us feel the energy pouring from the stage tonight.
