Frontman Jason Williamson also talks music in the age of COVID-19
Sleaford Mods have been knocking around and singing about austerity-era Britain since 2007, but they took off stateside in 2017 with the release of, but returned earlier this year for. That album will feature a mix of fan-favorite tracks, plus previously unreleased songs, B-sides and other rarities.works as a fan piece, it’s also a solid representation of what Sleaford Mods is,” Williamson says.
Sleaford Mods is currently scheduled to tour the East Coast in September, a trek that may be endangered now due to the spread of COVID-19. “We managed to tour Australia in March and just managed to leave before everything went into lockdown,” Williamson says. “We were then supposed to be in the U.S. playing Coachella and a West Coast tour, including a sold-out L.A. show but we couldn’t do it which was really disappointing.
“We love playing live and I’m hoping it isn’t crippled too much,” he adds. “It’s most musicians’ main source of income. Worse still is the effects it has on smaller acts who are literally hand to mouth, although the same could be said for many vocations. With the live arena shrinking there’s a potential backlash against streaming services as artists need to make a liveable wage out of their music.
