Broken Colours return with raw honesty on their latest single ‘Before The Sun’, a heartfelt indie-rock offering that dives headfirst into the complexities of mental health. Known for their defiant backbone and gritty edge, the High Wycombe four-piece once again proves their ability to fuse sincerity with powerful musicianship.
Built on a stripped-back, slow-burning acoustic guitar, the track immediately draws listeners into its world of deep-cut poetry and unflinching vulnerability. Before The Sun unfolds in two halves: one intimate and reflective, the other expansive and resonant—anchored by the band’s trademark indie-rock foundations, the result is a song that feels both fragile and resilient, echoing with the yearning for answers to life’s unanswered questions.
Speaking on the single, the band describes it as a reminder of balance in a world that demands more than we can often give: “Feeling overworked? Underappreciated? Does it feel like you’re taking one step forward and 30 back? This song is to remind you that you are only human, and there is hope still.” That message shines through every lyric and chord, transforming the track into a resonant anthem of perseverance.
Broken Colours’ musical DNA—shaped by influences like Jamiroquai and Arctic Monkeys—continues to pulse through their sound. Since their breakout self-titled EP in 2016, the band have carved a name for themselves across the UK and Europe, sharing stages with the likes of The Blockheads, Jake Bugg, The Zutons, and The Subways. Their reputation for electrifying live shows remains unmatched, and Before The Sun further cements their place as a band unafraid to dig deeper than surface-level rock ‘n’ roll bravado.
Broken Colours reaffirm their status as a creative force to be reckoned with—balancing grit, and hope in a way that feels both timeless and urgently relevant
