Bratakus Release New Single And Video ‘Tonight’

Formed in 2015 by two Scottish sisters Brèagha Cuinn (Guitar and vocals) and Onnagh Cuinn (Bass and vocals) outside a small whiskey village called Tomintoul in the Highlands, Bratakus have been fiercely DIY since their inception.

Following the release of their incendiary ‘Final Girls’, ‘Tokened’ and ‘Turnstile’ singles in 2025, which marked their first recordings for Venn Records, Bratakus are ready to release their new album ‘Hagridden’, which is set for release February 13th.

Ahead of the album release, which features ten tracks of beautifully cathartic screaming punk rock, Bratakus are releasing a new single titled ‘Tonight’ that sets its targets squarely on the timely subject of media manipulation.

“It’s about how everyone is angry about the state of the world, but we are being thrown distractions to get us to hate the wrong people,” says singer and guitarist Brèagha Cuinn. “The fact that some people are happy to just look the other way and let it happen if they perceive that it’s not going to affect them, but in reality, we’re all on this planet together, and if we don’t have compassion for each other, and help each other out, we’ll be left with nothing.”

For the ‘Tonight’ video, the band wear the creepy baby masks that are featured on the cover of the album. Part of the concept behind the ‘Hagridden’ album deals with the fact that there’s so many scary events going on in the world that real life genuinely feels like a nightmare a lot of the time.

Bratakus Released Fierce New Single “Tokened”

Highland punks Bratakus return with their powerful new single “Tokened” on Venn Records. Formed by sisters Brèagha and Onnagh Cuinn, the duo channel raw DIY energy into sharp critiques of the tokenism women face in the music industry.

The track calls out empty gestures, like being billed as “the token girl band” or relegated to side stages, while demanding recognition based on genuine artistry. Its video, created with participants of Girls Rock Glasgow, amplifies the message of empowerment and community, underscoring Bratakus’ commitment to grassroots activism.

Having toured as far as Japan and shared stages with The Hives, Bratakus are no strangers to fighting for space in male-dominated scenes. “Tokened” is a protest and a rallying cry, paving the way for their forthcoming debut album on Venn Records in 2026.
