Rotherham powerhouses The Reytons return with their fourth studio album A Love Letter To A Broken Town – out July 24th.
The announcement also sees the release of the album’s first single ‘Jukebox’ – a track packed with nostalgia, detailing times when local communities thrived and delivers a clear statement that The Reytons are back. Listen here & watch the video here.
Rooted in the grit, humour and honesty of everyday life, The Reytons continue to channel their origins into everything they do, and A Love Letter To A Broken Town sees them staying true to those roots while pushing their sound forward with confidence and intent.
“I honestly feel like this album is the best we’ve ever done!” explains frontman Jonny Yerrell. “A lot of bands and artists like to change direction later in their careers, but that’s just not us. We absolutely love the style of music we make, the social commentary aspects and the people who turn up to jump around with us. Why would we change? Expect more, just bigger and better with a few surprises on the side!”
The album represents a defining moment for the band, blending high-impact, energetic tracks with slower, more introspective songs that deliver sharp social commentary. ‘Busker’s Paradise’ offers a cinematic perspective, telling the story of a street performer navigating life in a declining town. Meanwhile, the anthemic ‘Hello, How Are You Today?’ taps into a universal experience of reflection, balancing that nostalgia with sheer optimism. The result is a dynamic record that feels refreshingly modern, showcasing their powerful storytelling.
Building on a meteoric rise that has seen them become one of the UK’s most exciting and unstoppable independent bands, the four-piece continue to tread their own successful path, releasing entirely on their own terms without label backing. Their recent chart results have been nothing short of remarkable, with What’s Rock and Roll? reaching #1 on the UK album chart and Ballad of a Bystander climbing to #2 – firmly cementing their place as one of the UK;s most successful bands.
From their breakthrough debut Kids Off The Estate in 2021 to selling out 20,000 tickets in their hometown of Rotherham’s Clifton Park, alongside landmark performances at London’s OVO Arena Wembley and making history as the first independent band to headline Tramlines Festival, their journey has been driven by word of mouth and a genuine connection with fans that few can rival.
With A Love Letter To A Broken Town, The Reytons continue to prove that independence is not a limitation but a strength, maintaining an authentic connection with their audience as they enter the next chapter of a journey that shows no signs of slowing down.
