Sleaford Mods
Sleaford Mods [ [link removed] ]
Sat 27 November
*Motorpoint Arena*
________________________________________________________________________
Times like these require a band like Nottingham's own Sleaford Mods. Except, of course, there are no other bands like Sleaford Mods. They?re back with new album ?Spare Ribs? and a UK Tour performing in their hometown.
?Spare Ribs? is the sound of a band so sure of their own sonic terrain that they can now explore its outer regions. The album?s title, emerged from ?the idea human lives are always expendable to the elites? We?re in a constant state of being spare ribs.? Yet Sleaford Mods are an essential part of Britain?s musical anatomy
