BAXTR are the new, all-female, D.I.Y, Alt-Pop/Geek rock trio hailing from London, UK, now residing on a morphing crystal ship in Dreamspace.
Close friends of 10 years, Floss, Bash & Keiko finally formed BAXTR; just a handful of months ago:
"We've wanted to do this for some time, but lockdown made us so grateful for music and each other - the joy and sense of connectedness that comes from both.
BAXTR were born of a desire to empower and spread a bit of that joy." - Floss, vocals.
And BAXTR are doing just that! Their first single Bloom, an upbeat Summery 80's tilted guitar bop, was met with hearty praise in the blogosphere and international airplay.
Now BAXTR have released their second single 'Feathers' - a riotous first-pumping anthem about shamelessly celebrating your unique beauty.

Feathers is inspired by the band's own journeys with self image, acceptance and expression of sexuality, as well as stories they've encountered and the uplifting work of influencers working to improve the confidence of others, in a society obsessed with presentation and perfection.
Feathers is as much a message to BAXTR themselves as it is to the world; to anyone who feels like they have to hide or change their appearance for fear of judgement or worse.
"Hell hath no fury like a womxn who refuses superficial, unrealistic, heteronormative beauty ideals constructed by a patriarchal society and perpetuated by systemic sexism and consumerism. Show... your... FEATHERS!" - BAXTR

BAXTR draw on the influence of 80's bangers and 90's guitar bands, adding a pinch of Brit Pop swagger to create their own brand of flamboyant and kitsch Geek rock/alt-pop.
"Get ready to fall in love with your new favourite band."
"Unsigned (but that’s bound to change) and DIY, BAXTR are ready to take over the world"
