UK pop-punk powerhouse SLACKRR returns with an uplifting new single, “Better Days,” out June 20 via SBÄM Records. Known for their relentless work ethic and emotionally-charged anthems, the band delivers a heartfelt, high-energy track destined to become a summer staple for fans navigating tough times with resilience and hope.
Written in the autumn of 2024 for their upcoming album (set for release summer 2025), “Better Days” channels optimism through melody, grit, and sing-along choruses. Frontman Scott, who also plays guitar, explains:
“The song was written in the autumn of 2024 for our upcoming album which will be released via SBÄM Records in summer 2025.”
At the core of the track lies a powerful chorus that encapsulates the spirit of the song:
“I can say, that we hoped for better days, we’ll be forever standing strong, never falter, moving on,”
—a message amplified in the bridge:
“Until your darkest days are gone, we’ll find the strength to carry on!”
Built as an anthem for unity and perseverance, “Better Days” is a reminder that no matter how dark things may get, brighter horizons are always ahead if we stand together.
