"Before The Sun" by Broken Colours: An Indie Anthem embodying Resilience and Hope

thisaktmusic

4 Sep, 2025

Broken Colours, a rising indie outfit from Buckinghamshire, returns with "Before The Sun," a heartfelt single that builds on the ideas of mental health struggles and follows them through to redemption. Broken Colours bring a raw honesty to their storytelling with "Before The Sun" that resonates with each listener's own burdens, whilst continuing to emerge with some hope. The stripped-back brilliance of their acoustic guitar work and lyrics captures the feeling of being caught in the tension of being overworked and underappreciated, with the constant circle of life beginning again. The call to our listeners is reminding us of balance, humanity, and a renewed possibility of hope to face the world and share our burdens.

Broken Colours take their influences from bands like Jamiroquai and Arctic Monkeys to weave their own original sound that captures an indie grit while offering a sense of soulful introspection, something we all feel despite the enormity of the challenges we face. "Before The Sun" is a two-part track in which Broken Colours start narratively in the slow burn of the early while only to evolve (and explode) with our full-bodied indie-rock anthem the honesty in the song results in a more realistic story that feels more than a song, it feels like the sharing of a remembernt, that no one is alone in this fight.

Ever since their debut EP in 2016, Broken Colours have established a solid reputation, electrifying crowds as they tour across the UK and Europe supporting acts such as The Zutons, Jake Bugg, and The Subways.

With 'Before The Sun', they have now demonstrated their artistic vision, and have shown themselves to be not only a musical band, but also storytellers with a message.
