Fractured Minds

 Emerging from Scotland's alternative music scene, Fractured Minds are one of the most exciting new bands to watch in 2026. The trio—McKenzie Gray (vocals and guitar), Ross Sinclair (bass) and Euan Fraser (drums)—blend post-punk urgency, garage-rock energy and modern indie influences into a sound that is both raw and contemporary. 

 Their music explores the pressures, anxieties and emotional disconnection faced by a generation growing up in an always-connected world. Rather than offering easy answers, Fractured Minds confront the realities of modern life with honesty, intensity and purpose. 

Their debut single, Dopamine Dream, examines the impact of smartphones and social media on identity, friendship and genuine human connection, marking the arrival of a band determined to give a voice to the challenges of modern youth. .
