They will give us a new self-titled album in May, their first in 22 years!

The song Sugar for the Pill is simply gorgeous.

Sleaford Mods

Sleaford Mods is an English duo out of Nottingham.

Their minimalist punk sounds are prominent on their latest single “TCR”.

TCR stands for Total Control Racing, a 1980’s racing kit. Here it is a metaphor for a life going round and round with no purpose.
