Aberdeenshire band, The Broken Creels return with their new single \u201cAusterity Kills\u201d on 12th September 2025. Known for their blend of alt-rock and Americana with a psychedelic edge, the four-piece are turning their focus to one of the most pressing issues of the day \u2013 austerity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recorded at Aberdeen\u2019s York Street Studio with long-time producer and engineer Steve Curtis, \u201cAusterity Kills\u201d combines socially charged lyrics with jangly guitars, a tense rhythm section and lead-singer, Colin Clyne\u2019s distinctive vocal delivery. At its core is a chant-ready refrain; \u201cThey\u2019re killing lives, Jesus Christ, don\u2019t they know that austerity kills.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Broken Creels feature Colin Clyne (vocals, guitar, harmonica), Daz Alexander (drums), Brian Black (bass) and Tom Ward (guitar\/keys). They formed on Scotland\u2019s North-East coast in 2022 bring together decades of live and studio experience to create an unforgettable sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their first two singles made an immediate impact. \u201cFriend or Foe\u201d reached No. 1 in the UK iTunes Rock Chart in April 2023, followed by \u201cKilling on the Rail Line\u201d, which peak at No. 2 six months later. The band\u2019s growing reputation has seen them appear at The Tartan Heart Festival (Belladrum) and earn praise from peers and critics alike:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7         \u201c…very powerful…\u201d \u2013 Kim Wilde<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7         \u201c…they kicked serious psychedelic ass!!\u201d \u2013 Rob Ellen (Belladrum Festival)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7         \u201c…thunderous and anthemic…\u201d \u2013 Indie Band Guru<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With \u201cAusterity Kills\u201d, The Broken Creels show how their songwriting can carry both weight and urgency, marking another step forward for one of Scotland\u2019s most talked-about emerging acts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAusterity Kills\u201d is out 12th September 2025 on all major streaming platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
