Aberdeen punk rockers Cold Years have unveiled an incredibly important new single and accompanying video, 62 (My Generation's Falling Apart).
The standalone track is based on the 62 per cent of Scotland who voted to remain in the European Union – and yet are being forced to leave because of Brexit.
"With 62, we are venting frustration at how bleak things are right now," says vocalist and guitarist Ross Gordon. "Our generation is spiralling out of control, because there’s no real future for us to look forward to. Our country has been torn in half. Sixty-two per cent of Scotland voted to remain in the EU, and we don’t want our country dragged out by any of those opportunistic morons who are tearing apart a nation. We have never been a political band, but I just don’t think we could have stood by and said nothing.”

On top of the release of 62, Cold Years sent letters to Tory MPs – plus local journalists and UK political commentators – who voted to enable a no-deal Brexit against their constituent's wishes. Brilliant work, guys.
