Creak

Creak is a rising UK metalcore outfit from Newcastle that's been carving out their space in the heavy music scene with a blend of sludgy riffs, atmospheric tension, and raw emotional vocals. Formed in 2019, the band—fronted by vocalist Jack Dunn—leaned into dark, grunge-tinged textures and chaotic energy, gaining traction with their 2021 EP *Codeine Dreams* before dropping their debut album *Depth Perception* in 2023 (which includes tracks like "Hare in the Woods" and "Bitter Picture"). Known for brooding lyrics and live shows that feel like cathartic therapy sessions, they’ve drawn comparisons to acts like Loathe and Thornhill while cultivating a fiercely loyal fanbase. Recent singles like "Eyes Without a Face" and "Wretch" showcase their knack for balancing haunting melodies with unrelenting heaviness.
