<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Bae Baracus is a female-fronted Canadian-based band that fuses genres to create a truly remarkable and energetic sound. Their latest release is called &#8220;Awards For Good Boys (Meritocracy)&#8221; and challenges the patriarchy and toxic masculinity. This powerhouse of a song was written in one take and is recorded live. It is packed with memorable energy! Genre-wise it tends to blend post-punk and 80&#8217;s electronic the most but influences from other genres may be heard as well. I mostly hear the elements of riot-grrrl and disco coming through. The song stays very experimental musically while the vocal melodies and lyrics repeat frequently. Whatever the genre is, it&#8217;s definitely a vibe and a song that you will want to have in your playlists to listen to again and again. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Bae Baracus&#8217;s lead singer Dolly D. says that the song is <em>&#8220;inspired by the low bar that the Patriarchy sets for male behavior in general and the many, many circle jerks I have witnessed from the outside throughout my life.&#8221;</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Some of lyrics go: </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em><strong>Medals trophies ribbons <br>For getting out of bed while in possession of heterogametic sex <br>You&#8217;re XY and you know it <br>They&#8217;ve got pills for that you know </strong></em></p>
