Fractured

We all yearn for a level of control in our lives. But modern life is complicated, frequently absurd, and disappoints in just far too many places.

Brighton-based Fractured try to make sense of it all with their brand of angular, melodic, high-energy punk.

The band performed at the 2023 Rebellion Festival and have supported The Nightingales, The Monochrome Set, Alternative TV and The Blue Orchids in recent times. Guitarist, Jamie Kirby, bass player, John McClafferty and drummer, Dave Askwith join front man and lyricist, Jeff Hayward, in the current Fractured line-up.

In the words of 6 Music favourites, ‘The Fallen Leaves’, “Fractured take every aspect that was good about punk, but transport it to the now, with witty and relevant commentary on the absurdity of modern life. One of the best groups on the live scene.”

Fractured are a band for these times. Broken, bloodied but unbowed.
