Sleaford Mods - political post-punk poetry underlined by stark beats

⁠Nottingham duo, Jason Williamson and Andrew Fearn, who broke through ten years ago with their political protest poems and minimal electronic beats about Austerity Britain, are back with a new album 'UK GRIM'. ⁠

In this wide-ranging DEEP DIVE interview, they both talk about their early years, their political message, and how they work together.
