We love you all.”

Who is Boygenius?
Boygenius is an American indie supergroup made up of Lucy Dacus, Phoebe Bridgers, and Julien Baker, all of whom are singer-songwriters. They debuted with their self-titled EP in 2018. After a break, they returned with The Record (2023), their first studio album, which was well-received by critics and fans and earned the group three Grammy Awards. Pitch-perfect in the UK, Ireland, and the Netherlands, it climbed to number four on the U.S. Billboard 200 and was dubbed an “instant classic” by NME. The Rest, the group’s second EP, was released on October 13, 2023.
The trio grew close to one another and expressed their annoyance at being labeled as “women in rock” while having quite different musical tastes. According to Dacus, the notion of women in music “should not be remarkable whatsoever,” and “it’s not a genre,” according to Bridgers. The group was founded partly to disapprove of the notion that the music business favors placing women against one another, as each has discussed in public. “I hope people see the three of us and know there isn’t competition,” Dacus has stated, Competition from your peers is not necessary. Together with individuals you respect, you may create something positive.”
