BEX has unveiled a brand-new single, and shared details of her debut EP.

The nu-punk breakout artist will be releasing six-track debut release SCUM on October 27 via Scruff Of The Neck, with new single Trust No One out now.

Speaking about the origins of the track, BEX explains: “I wrote Trust No One whilst on holiday in Cornwall, looking out across the sea, taking a break from reality, deep in thought.

“The music industry has always been a vicious one; snakes and thieves are normal here. The song presents the harsh truth of my short experience within the industry so far, holding my cards against my chest because you never know anyone’s next move.

“We all know the gatekeepers can be brutal, but I ended up finding out that your fellow musicians, the ones who are in the same boat as you, can end up being the worst. I very quickly found out who was in this race for the wrong reasons, craving fame and attention, ready to destroy anyone who is in their way. I started to become the same. It’s so easy to lose yourself amongst the rats.

“Writing this song was me accepting my mistakes, it was me falling back in love with the art, distancing myself from the scumbags, and finding myself again.”
