Ah, punk again! I do worry though, with a name like Sleaford Mods: I used to hate Mod music (The Jam, The Specials, Selecter, The Beat etc) and when this kicks off it does sound almost more ska (as I understand it) than anything else. The cockney London accent is a little off-putting, and it's kind of angry, though more in a “Wot the **** you lookin at pal” way than anything else: sort of arrogant/aggressive. Don't think I'm going to enjoy this but we'll see.
No, I didn't. This is ****. I see they have a previous album entitled
Wank. Very apt. The music is awful, it's really bass-driven and sounds really sparse to me, and the guy won't stop going on about this and that, as if I care. I don't. Bye.
