The Slow Day return from hiatus with single Antidote
After a 5-year hiatus, The Slow Day are back with a brand new single… ANTIDOTE!
Formed in Manchester, UK, The Slow Day blends raw emotional energy with a gritty alt-rock edge, fusing soulful Americana, blues, and indie rock into a sound that’s both familiar and fiercely original.
Their debut single “The Poet” introduced a band with heart and howl, while “I Can’t Sleep” earned praise for its smoky, psychedelic intensity — described by A&R Factory as “beautifully raw.” Known for dynamic vocals, anthemic choruses, and atmospheric grit, The Slow Day quickly carved out a cult following before having to step away in 2020.
Returning in 2025, the band reconnected with the stage, starting with their sell-out comeback show at Gullivers in Manchester’s Northern Quarter, and are now poised to release new music – starting with their new single “Antidote”, set to land on 2 February 2026.
They’ve been described and hailed by one acclaimed music journalist: “If there’s any Manchester band worth getting excited about… it’s The Slow Day with their anthemically-charged sound. Their name is criminally deceptive.”
Antidote is the new single, set to drop on 2 February 2026.
Recorded at Dead Basic Studios in Manchester, it has been produced by Lewis Brookes and mastered by the legendary Pete Maher.
From its powerful and polished sound to its striking and provoking visuals, Antidote grabs the attention and leaves you wanting more!
Release date: 2nd February 2026
