3.10 Sleaford Mods on Eton Alive
British duo Sleaford Mods have been serving up "electronic munt minimalist punk-hop rants for the working class" since 2007, across more than ten albums. Andrew Fearn makes the music (replacing Simon Parfrement in 2012), and Jason Williamson deals with the words, delivering eloquent tirades about austerity, unemployment, and whatever else takes his fancy.
Their acerbic approach propelled them into the spotlight via an appearance on Jools Holland, collaborations with The Prodigy and Leftfield, and a series of acclaimed albums.
RNZ Music’s Tony Stamp called Jason to find out more about the Mods’ new album Eton Alive.
