BEX’ new single, and last release of 2025, ‘silence’ tops off a banner year for the nu-punk creative. Quite the antithesis of its title, the powerful track rages against the act of silencing, which is all too prevalent in today’s society.
BEX says: “To end the year in silence would be unfaithful to people everywhere. In a world where struggle has become the new norm, where living paycheck to paycheck is standard, and children are growing up surrounded by hate and brutality, our society has become too afraid to speak out.
‘silence’ isn’t about being quiet — it’s an act of defiance, a bold strike meant to wake up the nation. We are silenced every day: by parents, by bosses, by the rules of our countries, by teachers, doctors, and systems that refuse to listen. It’s time to speak up, stand out, and stand together. ‘silence’ is the loudest and most aggressive track I’ve ever created.”
The single is paired with a powerful, storytelling music video that explores the silencing many of us have to deal with in a myriad of situations — poverty, bullying, sexual assault, boundary violations, and so much more. Premiering at 6pm on Sunday, it was filmed in BEX’ home and around her local town of Northampton, a place rich with creativity far beyond the music scene. BEX says of the video’s cast: “Dedicated members of the Scum Club [her troupe of followers] travelled from across the UK to take part and stand up for what they believe in, some even acting out raw scenes of aggression and frustration. Alongside the Scum Club, the video also features my parents, my dog, and my grandad. I had no trouble finding people to be part of this project — it’s a subject that resonates deeply, and everyone wanted in.”
2025 has already seen BEX release her ‘politix’ mixtape and she’s had her mascot BIG BEX in tow at many a festival appearance over the summer, including the likes of Download, Boomtown, Rebellion, The Great Escape and Pride Rock in Brighton. BEX was also included in both the NME 100 and Kerrang!’s Sound of 2025 at the top of the year.
