Sleaford Mods are a British duo hailing from Nottingham, known for their abrasive, minimalist musical style and their outspoken, politically charged lyrics. The band consists of vocalist Jason Williamson and musician Andrew Fearn, who joined Williamson in 2012 after the project was initially started by Williamson in 2007. They quickly became known for their unique blend of punk ethos with electronic music, often categorized under genres such as post-punk, electronic, and spoken word.

Their sound is characterized by Williamson's distinctive vocal delivery—caustic, spoken-word rants that often focus on the grittier side of British society, austerity-era politics, and working-class struggles—laid over Fearn's simple yet catchy beats and bass lines. Sleaford Mods have built a reputation for their raw, unfiltered commentary on modern life, gaining a loyal fanbase and critical acclaim within the UK and beyond. With a discography that continues to grow, including albums like "Divide and Exit" and "Eton Alive," the duo has solidified its place in the landscape of contemporary British music. Their recent tracks, such as "West End Girls," a cover of the Pet Shop Boys classic with a distinctive Mods twist, "UK GRIM," and "Big Pharma," showcase that their ability to deliver biting social commentary with wit and a sharp musical edge is as strong as ever.
