The Poet

I Can't Sleep

Formed in Manchester, UK, the band blends raw emotional energy with a gritty alt-rock edge, fusing Americana, blues, and indie rock into a sound that’s both familiar and fiercely original.

Their debut single “The Poet” (2019) introduced a band with heart and howl, while 2020’s “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 stepping away in 2020.

Now returning in 2025, the band is set to release new music and reconnect with the stage, starting with their sell-out comeback show at Gullivers in Manchester’s Northern Quarter.

For fans of  The Black Keys, Jeff Buckley and Velvet Revolver —this is alt-rock with soul, scars, and something to say.

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 polished sound. Their name is criminally deceptive.”
