“Synth driven swirling wall of noise with brilliantly executed rap lyricism built on realism and reckoning”

Raw, unfiltered, and fiercely independent — punk rap gets a reckoning.

In a time where silence can be deadly and complicity costs lives, rising alt rock/punk/rap artist LXSTBØY is done playing nice. His latest single, “BETTER MAN,” is a fearless, full-throttle attack on toxic masculinity, male violence, and the culture that lets it thrive. 

Blending visceral punk energy with rapid-fire grime-inflicted bars and searing alt-rock chaos, LXSTBØY delivers a wake-up call that demands accountability and attention.

BETTER MAN” is the first track released from his upcoming introspective 5 track EP of the same title, being released as a limited edition physical alongside all digital formats later this year in line with a stand out headline show at Cardiff’s underground sweat box BOHO on November 2nd 2025.

Written, produced, and performed entirely DIY, “BETTER MAN” doesn’t just take shots — it aims to dismantle. Gritty, confrontational and emotionally charged, the track challenges men to take real responsibility for their actions, speak out against their peers, and break the cycle of performative allyship. It’s not about playing hero — it’s about showing up, owning your role, and choosing to be better 

Navigating a polarising modern Britain,  LXSTBØY is carving out his own lane — no label, no filter, just pure, unapologetic DIY energy. Born in Bristol and forged in Sheffield, he blends the rough edges of grime, UK garage, and punk rock chaos into a sound that cuts deep and hits even harder. 

Think SOFTPLAY, IDLES, The Streets — but through the lens of someone who never quite fit in, and never tried to.

Early releases like ‘ARE YOU LOST LIKE ME?’ and ‘HOMETOWN SHOW’ have already earned spins on BBC Radio 1 (Jess Iszatt, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe), but it’s on stage where LXSTBØY truly explodes. With brothers Josh (drums) and Jamie Dean (bass) in tow, his live shows are a filthy, ferocious mix of sweat, catharsis, and chaos — built for the crowd, relentless from start to finish. “BETTER MAN” isn’t a song. It’s a statement. And LXSTBØY is just getting started.
