I was at their first ever Glasto appearance back in 2019 and it was an amazing set. A friend of mine has worked with them and said they're a great bunch of people. No ego at all. He has many tales of the weird behaviour and unpleasant egos of musicians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nail Soup Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 I got the album recently - Sniffany and the Nits... pretty angry stuff, although the anger is directed at personal as well as social issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tauzero Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 I was at a mini festival a couple of years ago and somebody sang a song he'd written called "I hate Margaret Thatcher". There's nothing like being topical with protest songs (see also "Dirty Blackleg Miners"). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misdee Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) Sleeford Mods sound properly angry to me. The singer has the demeanor of a man who has just been DNA tested on the Jeremy Kyle Show and the results mean he now has to surrender half his Income Support every week to an obese mother-of-three called Tracy. Let's face it, both the guys from this band are probably no strangers to their local Citizens Advice Bureau. Maybe music doesn't sound as angry as some might expect because politics is now secondary to shopping in most people's lives. Political issues only become tangible crises when they affect the ability of the masses to buy the goods and services they want and feel they have a right to. As long as folks have access to the material things they desire they are relatively content. Edited October 31, 2022 by Misdee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
