“Defiance. It’s an easy characteristic to define and to portray but not so easy to implement in contemporary society.”
“Sleaford Mods are the very embodiment of defiance. After multiple attempts to make headway in music through the traditional ‘band’ route from his late teens to mid-30s, Jason Williamson defied what was surely insurmountable pressure to give up and focus on the day job.”
Then, at the ripe old age of 37, defying the expectation of being ‘too old to make it’, he found a perfect outlet for his frustration in the form of Sleaford Mods, eventually drafting in Andrew Fearn to make the music to backdrop his diatribes.
“Since then they’ve been defying everyone and everything, whilst at the same time casually creeping up festival bills.”
