About this deal

If you're looking for a few reference points, then imagine a stripped-down cross between John Cooper Clarke (minus the literary), Mark E Smith (minus the stream-of-consciousness), the street-punk likes of Cock Sparrer and Oi! Because some of us are obstinate, stubborn and true to what we believe, regardless of whether it may be palatable to the masses (or even to the talented, active musicians that earn a small crust here in t'Towers). And if you think "Mod" is just about dressing up like "page 7 Weller" and boring on about Small Faces all day and night on yer reissue 60s Vespa, then don't bother mate. Basic beats, bass and keys splattered with some of the most articulate rage fulled observations on British life as lived by a great many people as you are likely to hear anywhere, if at all. They are aggressive but don't seem to take themselves too seriously, so all the tunes end up sounding extremly catchy, in a weird way.

I also think it's fair to say that this is a highly lyrics-driven album, and that if you don't get those lyrics you will struggle to find anything to like. Similarly, if you need to hear singing, or guitars, or pretty much anything that resembles 'normal' music then forget it. Luottoesimerkki: 1 300 € luottorajalla ja 12 kk:n takaisinmaksuajalla kk-erä on 124,06 € ja kuluttajasuojalain mukainen todellinen vuosikorko 29,08 %.Sleaford Mods are kinda doing to rap what Kill the Vultures did a few years ago, but in a less cerebral way. Steadily burning a whole in the underground, Sleaford Mods' wonky brand of vitriolic domestic audio abuse is so unique that they can sound like John Cooper Clark, Billy Childish, Wire, any post-punk band worth their salt, and still be like nothing else on the planet.

The society I live is mine" – this record says – "open to my voice and action, or I do not live there at all. Austerity Dogs isn't "we're all in this together" claptrap, nor some expensively educated pillock holidaying in other peoples' poverty like they've never heard 'Common People'.They're like an updated version of his stuff using current language in a very street wise naturalistic way - which isn't everyone's cup of tea, but is very honest.

If you haven’t already felt the movement, Sleaford Mods have been cultivating legions of impassioned fans. We carry a broad range of CDs and vinyl (7”/12” singles and LPs) and specialise in indie, alternative, rock, punk, metal plus a few other genres. In her book Revolting Subjects, the sociologist Imogen Tyler shows how tabloid hate figures (the poor, immigrants, Roma, single mums, etc) aren't simply 'abject' but are produced as such: forced to live in squalor and then, as that squalor takes effect, demonised by the press and bourgeois small-mindedness/self-interest.Vote up content that is on-topic, within the rules/guidelines, and will likely stay relevant long-term. Allo Darlin's eponymous debut album runs the spectrum from joyous, breezy, punky, jump-around pop with fabulous harmonies to sparse ukulele and steel guitar heartbreakers.
