Sleaford Mods

[Northernhibee]

Most important band in years and years. Why has it taken two 40-somethings with a laptop and a microphone to finally create some proper angry music?

Outstanding. Highlight of Glastonbury for me!!

[The_Horde]

What a load of ****.

[Carheenlea]

Love 'em.
Seen them twice - Electric Circus and over in Amsterdam, both last November. Have tickets for their gig at La Belle Angel later in year (October I think).

[Northernhibee]

Just been to see them live, the most punk thing I've seen in ten years. Outstanding.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Mary from Eastenders is the most punk thing I've seen in the last 30 odd years, I don't feel I'm missing anything.

[stevie-bee]

They remind of a band can't think of who ,

IMO the highlight of the new album and sounded great last night.

Got it the streets

[Moulin Yarns]

What were they doing on a music show is the main question, as there was no music from them, just shouting.

:dunno:

If pressing the spacebar on a laptop and then drinking a pint for the next 4 minutes is what is now classed as music then I give up going to live gigs.

I like to listen to lots of different types of music but they are awful.

[Northernhibee]

The single most important band in the last ten years IMO. All we've seen in the last decade is ****s with haircuts and a Topman loyalty card pretend they know what a Les Paul is and sing songs about drinking lemonade and **** all else, this is real angry music with something to say and takes out of the landfill indie era.

I heard something about them on the radio this morning and they were described as marmite. I also think marmite is *****.

You've not been looking very hard then! They come across as one of those bands that people say they like but probably really don't, not sure they are going to be remembered in 10 years time.

Suppose they are good in the fact they are causing lots of discussion.

Agree that British indie music has been utter pish for years. But I'm glad I'm 57 and don't have to even try and like them. Unlistenable as far as I'm concerned.

The man who compiles the loops and beats is Andrew Fearn, and he has done all his work beforehand so why go through the pretence of appearing to do it live like so many acts do - he is entitled to enjoy his pint and nod along while Jason Williamson spits out his lyrics to the backing tracks IMO :greengrin Call it anti-music if you like.

Not everyone`s cup of tea but I am a big admirer of their work. Interesting to see the difference a year made as in November last year I saw them in The Electric Circus for a blistering show that was far from sold out, then a few weeks ago saw them again in La Belle Angel where a considerably larger crowd was in attendance at what was quite an impressive sized venue. Can`t remember La Belle Angel being as big pre fire?

Did La Belle Angel go on fire? I thought it was the Liquid Rooms that had the fire?

[Scouse Hibee]

Yeah it suffered huge damage in the Cowgate fire.

Yeah it suffered huge damage in the Cowgate fire.

Yes, the big fire in 2002 that destroyed also The Gilded Ballon and other properties in the Cowgate. The venue now holds 600 which is a decent enough size. It looked like it could take a bigger capacity than that to be fair.

Of course, had forgotten all about that..............

Stocking filler for Xmas. Look at the price it was meant to be :wink:
