[@Hyperlumps]

they have several videos with views in the millions, i wouldn't call it hard to find unless you're a tosser.

[@michaelbarry8553]

Try Arab Strap, a Scottish duo who do their own thing. I've a feeling you'll like them too

[@hugoflores4285]

The brewmaster "Andrew Fearn" has a great rhythm in his movements! makes me want to dance and the vocalist Jason also makes a great performance, hope to see them live some day !

[@BRIDKIE]

I love that Andrew's gotten a LOT more comfortable on stage. He used to just gently rock back and fourth with a beer in hand, now he's amazing.

[@TheLunarnotes]

I prefer the stoic bloke holding a beer in his hand looking vaguely interested

[@josepedroacf]

These guys are so incredible, 2 guys can make such an unique and amazing music. Also love the fact that Andrew is so loose, it make their live preform have more depth. If i had to bet, id say in 5 years they will be more mainstream than they already are. Such amazing vibes and interesting melodies make me wana go wild!

[@user-bt2bb9gi2e]

As a teenager growing up in the 70's & 80's, here in the UK and witnessing the vanguard of the punk movement, this is pure nostalgia for me. Unless you lived through this period, you may not realise the huge seismic shift that Punk created in the music scene. Orchestrated by Malcolm Mclaren and his visionary genius, the Sex Pistols hit the media as if aliens had landed in Leicester Square. The tabloids predicted the end of civilisation. Questions were asked in parliament. It was the leading feature on the TV news slots. It truly was incredible. The first time I heard the SM's I had a flashback to 1979. This is punk for the 21st century. John Lydon/Rotten will be proud to hear this. His legacy is alive and the SL's are fine torchbearers. Brilliant stuff.

[@T-roccBABY]

Yeah man, Gucci slides, designer clothes and acting like a pretentious twat to what sounds like stock demo jingles on a keyboard is SO punk.

[@sbef]

Well said. The 80s punk taking the piss out of authority is pretty much dead. Sleaford Mods have shifted that anger to how shit and mundane our daily lives are. The soul-sucking treadmill of the digital rat race. They're the vanguard of what I like to call austerity punk.

[@andresgsur]

Feel you. As a punk/post punk teenager from argentina, im automatically there in 1980s. "the end of civilisation" quite funny. This crap is ending soon

[@themudpit621]

"Orchestrated by Malcolm Mclaren and his visionary genius," ?? Oh mate, Feck off.

[@billiehobbs5308]

Absolutely love this set.. It's a definate favourite!! I love it when you guys have a drum and bass type vibe on some of your tracks. Still killing it boys, thank you so much!!!!!

[@jibicusmaximus4827]

i love all sorts of music, now, i play all sorts as i am a musician, i currently play lead guitar in a chicago style blues band but i love this! it's so punk rock in spirit..

[@philscholes6225]

These guys are incredible live. I have seen them quite a few times and they never disappoint. Their performance go Jobseeker on Joolz Holland's Later show in the UK was a big breakthrough for them back in 2016 I think, plus the amazing Glastonbury show

There is a Guardian review (Katie Hawthorne) of the night which doesn't reflect my memories of the evening. Spends half the article going on about the Gazagate thing, which when I read up on it, was a storm in a teacup. Then moans about the sound quality, which was nicely balanced where I was dad dancing. Epic night. How was Leeds?
