Sleaford Mods have described their work as “electronic munt minimalist punk-hop rants for the working class.”[1] Williamson is responsible for the words, Fearn for the music. Sleaford Mods songs have been described as embittered rants about such topics as unemployment, modern working life, celebrities and pop culture, capitalism and society in general.[19] The lyrics usually contain profanity, which is, according to Williamson, the way in which he speaks and “not just fucking swearing”.[19] Fearn’s music has been described as “purgatorial loop[s]” of “pugilistic post-punk-style bass; functional but unprepossessing beats; occasional cheap keyboard riffs and listless wafts of guitar.”[20] (“Sleaford Mods,” Wikipedia)
