Sixth Day is a dynamic indie-rock five-piece hailing from Manchester, England. Formed approximately two years ago, the band consists of Alex, Sam, Hugh, and Joe, with a recent search for a new drummer. They've quickly established themselves in the vibrant Manchester music scene, drawing inspiration from iconic bands like Fontaines D.C., Joy Division, The Pixies, Oasis, and Catfish and the Bottlemen.
Sixth Day is known for their high-energy performances and a sound that blends driving, bass-heavy verses with explosively hooky choruses. Their music often features gritty guitar tones and relentless rhythms, showcasing a raw yet expertly controlled energy. They have rapidly gained traction with sold-out headline shows across Manchester venues and airplay on BBC Radio Manchester and Amazing Radio. They are currently sitting on an EP's worth of unreleased music, which they plan to record and release soon.
"Run!"Â is a rousing single by Sixth Day, officially released on October 23, 2024.
Lyrically, "Run!" appears to explore the ups and downs of a relationship, particularly focusing on feelings of vulnerability and being manipulated. The striking chorus, "I'm just a boy / I'm just a toy / in your game,"Â directly conveys a sense of powerlessness or being used within a dynamic. The song's themes suggest a narrative of emotional struggle and perhaps a desperate plea for escape or understanding.
Musically, "Run!" is characterized by its high energy and hooky nature. It features driving rhythms and gritty guitar tones that build effortlessly into a powerfully catchy chorus. The band wrote the track with live performance in mind, ensuring it would be a treat for audiences, with its thudding drums and shout-along lyrics designed to get fans "bouncing around." It's an exciting track from a band that demonstrates significant promise.
