8 years after their last tour, Slow Science are playing a handful of dates with buddies, Sounds of Swami
Fresh from playing the recent Manchester Punk Fest, this August our favourite anthemic-punk Southerners (heh) are hitting the road to play Leeds, Cambridge and London for what the band are calling the 'Years Have Not Been Kind To Them' Weekender. To be fair the years have not been kind to any of us!
Dates below:
Friday 5th August - Wharf Chambers, Leeds, with Sounds of Swami, Mr Shiraz and Jake McAllister
Saturday 6th August - New Cross Inn, London, with Sounds of Swami, Modern Shakes and James Hull
Sunday 7th August - The Blue Moon, Cambridge, with Sounds of Swami and Yarraman (matinee show)
The songs from the recent Sham Laws EP are sure to be getting an outing so don't miss the chance to pop along. Who knows, it may be another 8 years before they do this again!

New Slow Science EP & Video

Slow Science return with a brand new EP and an appearence at the Manchester Punk Fest
We're incredibly excited to share the surprise new video and EP from one of our favourite bands, and a band who have been sorely missed these last eight years, Slow Science.
Slow Science bassist and vocalist, Stacey Conway-Jones explains:
“We always wanted to get together and record these songs and being booked to play Manchester Punk Fest was the catalyst we needed. It was great fun being back in the studio after all this time, especially with our good friend Tom. We picked up right where we left off 8 years ago and, with little rehearsal time, had to work on the songs as we recorded them. We’ve not written like that before and we’re really chuffed with how the songs and recordings have turned out as a result.”
The EP’s two songs - "Cold Smoke" and "What We Are" - prove the band haven't missed a beat and showcase their musical and song writing abilities with their trademark dual vocals, sing-along choruses, and wailing guitar solos. The video for "Cold Smoke" documents the recording of Sham Laws and was edited by London-based film maker, Adrian Cecil. The EP was recorded at Liverpool’s Trap Door Studios by Tom Peters of the band Alpha Male Tea Party.

RIP Slow Science

The second Bombed Out band to split in as many months, Slow Science played their last handful of gigs in September.
One of our favourite UK bands of the last few years, we are sorry to announce that Slow Science are no more. The band played a blinder in Leeds recently with The Dauntless Elite (where the above photo was taken - yours truly ruining the bands aesthetic by popping up in the middle) as part of their final tour. Proving, once and for all, that they were one of the most satisfyingly unique punk bands we had heard in a long time and, as rusty as they claimed to be, one of the best live bands.
It should go without saying that we have no regrets on getting them to line up alongside Leeds' finest on their new split 12" - their 2 tracks are as good as any to have appeared on any Bombed Out release to date.
There's not much to say that hasn't already been said so I'll just thank Jon, Stacey, Al and Paul, wish them all the best for the future (the new Axes record is going to be special) and leave you with a small snippet from the insert to the new record. It rounds things off nicely:
"[Thanks to] all our friends and families. All the bands we have played with over the years, promoters who have put us on, anyone who gave us a place to stay, fed us, came to see us, bought a record or a t-shirt. We've been Slow Science. You're Welcome."
