BXRRELL (pronounced buhRELL) consists of YouTube and social media rock sensation Sophie Burrell, Sped Spedding and Simon Uselis.

Think pop-rock with emo edges, reminiscent of Paramore circa 2013 and present-day hypnotic Billie Eillish hooks, packed with scathing drumbeats and simmering guitar riffs that ascend and circle back on themselves, hell-bent yet triumphant.

Their debut single ‘Dare To,’ released on the 24th February 2023, is a battlecry for listeners to unapologetically claim their self-worth and flaunt it with a healthy dose of attitude and eyeliner.

As a fearless musical virtuoso in her own right, Sophie is one of the world’s most watched guitarists, with a collective online following of over 2 million. Her earliest guitar influences include the likes of Slash, Alter Bridge and Nirvana. When asked about the main themes of her songwriting, Sophie said: “Mental health is a big one. Reflecting on painful experiences through writing helps me process how I can grow and learn from them. Followed by self-love, knowing your worth and spreading a message of empowerment.”
