Broken Waves Address Toxic Masculinity in Bold New Single ‘Do You Understand?’
Indie-rock/pop outfit Broken Waves have returned with their dynamic new single, Do You Understand?, a fiery blend of funk and indie-rock tackling the growing issue of toxic masculinity in modern society. Known for their energetic live performances and infectious rhythms, the 5-piece band dives deep into the subject of misogyny online, calling for healthier male role models for the younger generation.
Do You Understand? marks the band’s boldest step yet into funk-driven sounds, infusing their signature indie-rock vibe with fresh, groove-filled rhythms. The song’s pompous production, shaped by engineer James Brown at Wizard Tone Studios, perfectly captures their experimental and fearless approach to contemporary pop music.
“We were finding ourselves trapped in this contrast of being told to ignore toxic influencers preaching backwards ideas, while also asking, ‘Who are the real role models that young men need today?’” – Broken Waves.
