Ahead of her performance at 2000 Trees Festival, female punk rocker BEX answers “This Song….” with Why Generation

1. This song I remember from my childhood:

California Girls – Katy Perry

My best friend’s mum burnt me a copy of Teenage Dream and we used to play it on my little pink CD player, sing along and dance. Another one would be Dancing Queen – Abba, my cousin and I used to make up dance routines and perform them to our parents whilst singing along.

2. This song inspired me to be a musician:

Fall – Ed Sheeran & Amy Wadge

Soooo many tracks inspire me every day to be a musician but one that stands out is Fall – Ed Sheeran + Amy Wadge. When I was 13, I used to listen to this track over and over! Every night after school I would come home & play my acoustic guitar strumming away each evening!

3. This song brings up a significant memory:

Suzanne – Creeper

When I was around 15/16 I went to see Creeper supporting All Time Low with my Dad. It was the last concert we went to as I moved out that summer. It was the best gig, I had never heard of Creeper until then but now both my Dad and I are massive fans. When they played Suzanne it was the highlight of the entire night.

4. This song I can play on repeat and not get bored:

Half Way There – Soundgarden

Recently it’s been the first song I’ve played every time I’ve opened Spotify, I love Chris Cornell’s vocals on everything but on this track particularly; it’s just a masterpiece

5. This song I discovered in the past month:

Rotoscope – Spiritbox

I’d heard the track before when it first came out last year, but I completely forgot about it, I rediscovered it this month.
