English Post-Punk Duo Sleaford Mods Spares No Fury, In-Studio

Soundcheck | May 28

Nottingham post-punk duo Sleaford Mods have built their career on going against the grain, challenging the British class system, capitalism, and pop culture. They’d tear it all down if they could. Vocalist Jason Williamson and producer Andrew Fearn are known for their relentless streams of expletive-laden takedowns of social and political hypocrisy, but they’re also catchy in their own minimalist, not suitable for a workplace way. Sleaford Mods’ latest album is called The Demise of Planet X, and they perform some of these danceable and ferocious rants, in-studio.

Set list: 1. I Don't Rate you 2. Megaton 3. Elitist G.O.A.T.
