Sleaford Mods

One hour of extreme lyrics, sheer anger, raging frustration and cynicism. New songs, old songs, and fresher looser sounds. It's funkier and heavier of bass; this allows some of the tracks to breathe more...proving that not every track needs to be spat out....What's clear is that they continue to specialise in a very well observed social commentary. It's of Britain, and it's right now. In your face, now. We're reminded of some utter shit that we deal with daily; the people, the organisations, the public sector, drug dealers, folks hanging around depressing shopping centres. Situations. Stuff.

By the time the Mods come back to London in October they will have nearly trebled their audience size in 9 months (Electric Ballroom to Forum via Koko). Up front it makes perfect sense and is utterly compelling and fascinating to watch. I'm unsure, however, if this would translate to Brixton Academy. That is the next logical venue, but maybe after a summer of festivals they'll want to get closer to their crowd again.
