Sleaford Mods

Would still take Prinzhorn Dance School over these lads.

i guess they felt a little more like a proper band and also more part of what was going on w/dance music at the time, to me at least

Fearn's deciding to not do the whole phony "let me put my headphones on one ear and pretend i'm messing with all these knobs" thing is def one of my fav things about SM

I think they're ironically aware of the Carter USM thing; there's a track on the new album that is somewhat laden with You Fat Bastards.

What really cartered it for me may have been the "Brexity Roller" pun.

aaaaaand i'm out

just discovered the genius of sleaford mods

he seems like a good egg

:)

Carter USM comparison is kinda apt, still love them though

new record getting good early reviews - I guess S.M usually do

new album is great, a little more oomph and atmosphere in the instrumentals, I think. but also a kazoo

still fucking good

haha amazing.

Love live videos of SM, with the producer bopping his head and drinking a tallboy every time.

The only band Mark E. Smith was willing to praise near the end of his life? Pretty surprising, seemed Fall-adjacent enough for him to get mad.

I hadn't heard that! makes sense though...

I make a little time in my life for the Sleaford Mods every now and then

Marc Riley praised a lot more and his opinion means a lot less but I would just like to co-opt this thread to say that his approval of the Flat Worms was not done in error, they are good

The female guest vocals on a couple of the new tracks do feel like a welcome alleviation of the sometimes relentless blokiness of this stuff, while still being totally consistent with the overall aesthetic.

ha I made a SM mix a couple weeks ago and brought her verse in twice

I don’t really think of them as particularly blokey per se; Jason’s not like his onstage persona when he’s offstage, and Andrew’s gay. That said, I do also welcome the recent female guest vocals... they offset something.

I think it's their best album in a while

Billy Nomates solo work is quite good

like Viagra Boys they're definitely dudes but not very bro-y/bloke-y IMO

Heroes

Ooooer. We got reviewed by Anthony ‘Fuck You If Your Not White’ Fandango.

Totally bro’d out. https://t.co/Fzo6hTtnPO

I encourage this.

woah that's cool

The vocalist was on one track from the Scorn album before this one.

Before the current one, I mean. Track above is from 2019.

I came back, I thought James' t-shirt said "MeganAsFuck" I was like wo.

Andrew's t-shirt, I mean.

Currently on their biggest tour in the UK; this is a nice surprise

You don't think it's going to work... and then it does.

The Uncut Curated Editions Special is well worth getting, BTW. It's pleasingly thorough, and they've clearly taken leading roles in its construction.

Just wanted to say wow and fucking wow at this band right now. Released banging new video featuring Perry Farrell. Force Ten and UK GRIM both outstanding stuff. I am buzzing for the new album this weekend.

I was so bowled over by English Tapas at its time that I've found everything since then vaguely more pedestrian, but yeah, "Force 10" in particular is promising. Who's the guest vocalist?

In the process of not finding out that on discogs, I learned about the 2022 Orbital collab, which sounds suitably mad and dandy.

Florence Shaw (from Dry Cleaning) is the collab for Force 10

Bought the new one this morning, not yet listened but will get around to it later. They're doing a live internet broadcast tomorrow at 9pm bst on YT wit Q and A

Ah, makes sense. Thanks for YT headsup!

"get married and go on safari" cracks me up every time. They do have this knack of striking imagery, to use ilx parlance.

oh more heads up on that yt thing, Mods say from 8:30 they will be in chat to answer questions.

when he sings "don't go" upthread he sounds rather a lot like Paul Weller

liking this one more than the last few

Perry Farrell sounds like he was airdropped in from a '90s ska-punk record.

Hiya Dan. Apologies but we are not sharing a bill. Sheer Mag are supporting us because this is our tour. Credit where credits due, of course and I understand this is their hometown, however this isn’t an event that has a shared billing. They are the support.
