I have heard a lot of music in my 65 years here. These are up there with Hendrix, Marley, Pistols and Husker Du. Got me interested again. The people who don't get this are probably very boring. zzzzzzzz
billingtonbobbington Up there with Hendrix? I see those 65 years here have clearly taken their toll on your brain. I'll correct you old fella... The people who ''don't get this'' actually just prefer to listen to MUSIC... Every pub in the entire country has a bloke like this in it, that loves the sound of his own voice... At 65 years old, you've probably paid you dues, and knew what was decent once... But you're judgement I'm afraid, is showing horrifying signs of wear. I'd suggest that your skills as a connoisseur, would be far more suited to giving Werther's Originals and mugs of hot tea a score out of 10
craig wells Eh up Craig. Hope you're enjoying perusing your stamp collection this morning. Bit nippy out ,yeah? Can you, as the cultural expert, kindly share your Music recommendations . Mumfords, Coldplay, U2, Floyd etc....
billingtonbobbington Errrm, there's not really a lot I can say to you, I mean to even put them in the same sentence as Hendrix is so catastrophically ridiculous, that if you actually BELIEVE that, then your concept of understanding what talent is, is so malfunctioned that I may as well speak to a wall... Your inability to recognise that this is nothing but a monotone recitement of words, that ANYBODY is capable of because its void of ANY tune, and often lacks even the basics of song writing skills... says it all. My music recommendation? Well, anyone with a scrap of talent would be a worthwhile starting point... Anyone who can create something that YOU can't! I liken it to this: If someone offered you a scribble on a piece of paper for sale, would you buy it for the wall of your front room? Of course you wouldn't! Its messy, its meaningless, and above all, you could do it yourself with total ease. Not because you're talented, but because its just a scribble... no artistic talent required... That's the analogy I'm going to give you for comparison. And to allow you to understand clearer, we'll say Hendrix was Da Vinci yeah? Oh yeah... Current musicians I think are good you asked for? Jake Bugg's a good little lad I suppose...
hexonatapeloop What would give you that idea? I LOVE The Fall, I think they're one of the all time greats! Haha, I'm joking of course! Nahh, I can't say that I like them to be honest... You're not going to try and tell me that THEY'RE anything close to Hendrix too are you? Lets be honest... Mark E Smith isn't exactly a barrel of laughs, as a bloke it he? Certainly not a person I'd enjoy the company of, what with him always coming across as being such a misery arse. So if we take those bleak, pessimistic, cynical characteristics into account, then obviously those are the materials he's going to use, when creating a piece of work, and I'm afraid my alliance rests firmly on the side of optimism... Not saying YOU shouldn't listen to them, just saying that they fall (haha, Fall? see what I did there!)... Yeah, they fall miles short of the mark, compared to the standards of the music that I prefer
Saw these Thursday night as a support to the specials .the room went totally quiet,jaws were open after the first track there was a murmur of WTF,by the end of the second there was applause ,got home with a baseline in my head looked them up and listened for a few hours straight and am hooked. People have criticized because of the rants are from a 43 year old ,but I'd say most middle aged men have more to rant about than a prime of life 18 year old . Class, better live than recorded ,and WILL see them again,just try not to over analyze,if you don't like don't listen
The dude might be actually saying something,but you can't call this a band, a dickhead with a laptop with some shitty DJ software is not a band, the vocalist (coz he's not a singer,that's not a bad thing) is a very poor man's Jonny Rotten without the style. Fair play to them for having a go,we need more to try,to speak from this perspective,give the people a break from the polished pop shit the kids are forcefed these days,a bit like the Pistols, Oasis etc,but these are NOT a band in any way shape or form.
I don't have a punk background, and I think they're dope. Then again I did have a lot of punk friends growing up, so I was never really opposed to it, but yeah I know fuck all about punk and I love these guys.
For those people commenting on ranted lyrics with regard to the salesforce mods, wind your neck in because you are either not listening or don't actually understand the lyrics. Mr Williamson is actually lyrically spot on, don't listen to the delivery if it does doesn't suit you but at least listen to the substance. The vast majority of people will understand EXACTLY what he is saying. And it is punctuated with the drum and bass.
booldawg Pretty much everything is wasted on teenagers. Especially angst. You have to wait until life gives you a few proper sucker-punches in the face before you're allowed to moan. I'm nearly 42 and I'll moan all day long if I want to, though admittedly not as eloquently as this guy. ;)
+booldawg For me personally it's the first band that speaks to me about the problems we all deal with and see on an every day basis. Everyone is going through the shit no matter what age. All of us that love Sleaford Mods, that can relate to the music, fits the demographic.
im not usually into bands like this but this tune is phenomenal i love it!!!! Great live performance, i used to love indie back in my younger days and Art Brut were great live, these guys are the harder version of them!
First impression on Sleaford Mods after watching a track with The Prodigy let's listen to them on there own, original, lyrics from a bad place but rose above it to give a sharp picture of today. Lots of hate little love special lyrics and a beer drinking sound man who I love to bits, can I join as Sleaford no 3 will dance for money if required.
Went to see these guys in Stoke last week, ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT, when I spoke to Jay after the gig I wish I had asked him what the numbers at the start of Jobseeker meant!
the numbers he is referring too are the scores people get when they do a questionnaire when they first sign onto jobseekers as they give you a basic English/math test basically its a illiteracy test.hope that answers your query sarah doyle :)
skinny boy Nah its not. He said its a reference to when he used to work in a place testing the temperature of meat. You had to stick a thermometer in it and if it was below a certain heat then it was good to go.
Sleaford mods simple music but so powerful like the fall keep it simple but raw, no fucking long guitar leads or singers showing off there voice just pure feel good music. Vocals are great music fucking great to
This is really good. Laid-back, syncopated flow over a grinding techno beat. He's a cross between Mark E. Smith, John Cooper Clark and classic era Snoop Dog. Gotta love the midlife angst, too.
This reminds me of the time Watty, of The Exploited went to sign on, a few days after they were on Top of The Pops... The full Yellow Mohican probably didn't help.
Where have I been to miss Sleaford Mods as I fucking love them. Tuned in to Jools Holland and thought to myself hey up who are these two lads who look like they've just come out the pub,and since then I can't stop playing there stuff. Punk poetry set to a nice beat is what my mate calls it,but whatever it is who gives a toss as it's awesome !When are they coming to Coventry ?
I know these lads don't play the industry game but if anything deserves a re-release this does - when I was a kid my political awareness was provided by the sounds I listened to - Jobseeker is even more topical right now - We live in a fkd up country where Jobcentre staff are unable to find you work - instead they spend their working week searching for minor transgressions of asinine rules, in order to bump up their pay cheque via bonuses awarded for finding reasons to sanction people - I just cannot believe that so many people are OK with a system that has directly contributed - with no exaggeration whatsoever - to more than a few deaths caused by starvation following sanctions for bullshit transgressions - like being 5 minutes late to see your 'employment coach's who cannot help you find any work, but can somehow live with deaths due to starvation & DWP-caused suicides.. The only thing averting many more deaths being foodbanks and other charitable initiatives.. Can of Strongbow, clutching that leaflet on depression.. still the way it is, only worse and SM seem to be the only musicians consistently and eruditely highlighting the reality of far-right Britain with its casual racism and maltreatment of society's most vulnerable
These guys need to put together a band for live performances. Fair enough they created the music. As an attending member of the fucking crowd I preferre to see a band. Yeah I know you are the ones who created the music but I still want to see musicians playing the music.
Sleaford Mods [ #sleafordmods ] [ #worthtolisten2015 ] is a project of English something like singer Jason Williamson. The actual band has been here just for last two years, when joined him musician Andrew Fearn. For this short time they managed to become one of the most original bands in the present. The reasons why are many. Their musical tolerance and rapping politically incorrect lyrics appeal to both punk and hip-hop audience. But because they are extremely creative and their non album work is messy being present at various EP's or singles, the time has come and they decided these "lost songs" placed on a single carrier. Result of that decision has become a very fun collection Chubbed Up + [ #chubbedup + ]. Musically are Sleaford Mods usually sufficient with simple drums and imaginative bass line. In this Williamson is screaming a street poetry. The best example of his philosophy of life is caught in a verse from the song Routine Dean - "I hate what you do / and I don't like you." Lo-fi sound that dominates on the album, only supports the dirt that in the world of Sleaford Mods crawling out completely from everything. Williamson is a typical British hero of (not) working class, who in Jobseeker explains to sensitive girl from office work, that he must taking drugs and not to work. What comes out of his mouth can sound just as vulgar chants from the pub or football game. When you, however, will listen deeper you will discover that this man really can work with a word. 12 songs appearing on Chubbed Up + is a very good listening. He makes fun from the society, pop culture, even from himself. To do this also helps to Williamson a strong Nottingham accent and friend Andrew Fearn with his laptop who is doing something what resembling music. It is good album, however, if you do not like it when at you offensively shout British working class man soaked with beer, you may have been at the wrong address.
