English rap-punk poets SLEAFORD MODS Jason Williamson
and Andrew Fearn have their 11th LP, called UK GRIM out
on 10 March.

So far we got two tasters. The nervously bouncing and catchy title track and the
and groovy chant Force 10 From Navarone feat. Dry Cleaning’s whispering voice
Florence Shaw.

Another fan, Perry Farrell (Porno For Pyros/Jane’s Addiction) joined the mods
for taster 3, named SO TRENDY. A vintage minimalistic SM synth-rap, sickly
sticky as usual.

Listen. Here. Now.

SLEAFORD MODS Drop New Groovy Rant ‘FORCE 10 FROM NAVARONE’ From Their Upcoming 11th LP

Posted on by JL

Works faster and harder than caffeine

9 February 2023

English rap-punk poets SLEAFORD MODS Jason Williamson
and Andrew Fearn have their 11th LP, called UK GRIM out
on 10 March.

Following the title track a few weeks ago, you can rant now to new
groovy cut FORCE 10 FROM NAVARONE featuring Dry Cleaning‘s
Florence Shaw

Jason Williamson “The track is a conversation with myself coming to terms with happiness and whether it is in fact a darker space than my negativity and depression. Coupled with that it explores the myth of activism and inaction of the majority in the UK in the presence of a corrupt government.”

“Jason, why does the darkness elope?
Cross sectioned. Its not a drink and I don’t fucking smoke”

Let the words roll.

Waking Up In With SLEAFORD MODS In ‘UK GRIM’

Posted on by JL

Works faster and harder than caffeine

19 January 2023

English rap-punk poets Jason Williamson and Andrew Fearn are ready to
launch their new, 11th, LP. It’s called UK GRIM and shows up on 10 March.

Jason Williamson: “Maybe we are proud of the country. Maybe we are proud to be English. Maybe I’m proud of the horrible grey streets and the shit weather and the stupid fashions I find myself investing in. It’s just that the English we’re proud of being is absolutely nothing like the English the authorities want to try and promote.”

To warm us up the mods share the first single,
the babling title track UK GRIM

Love the UK
Fuck Putin

One live track a day keeps the doctor away

Last November razor-sharp-rapping poets SLEAFORD MODS made

It includes the track Nudge It that features the awesome Amyl Taylor,
from Aussie punk rockers Amyl And The Sniffers.

She joined the two mods at the said show to perform that firecracker.

Turn Up The Volume’s 5 Best EPs Of 2022 (So Far)

Posted on by JL

More than a single, less than an album

Turn Up The Volume‘s ears say that these
are the 5 best EPs of 2022… so far.

Band: NOTHINGHEADS
Who: Hit team formed through a shared love for London’s DIY music scene.
Their songs draw no boundaries – no subject is too confusing, no sound too
eclectic. The band write collaboratively, harnessing the noise and energy
that comes from playing together.

EP: DIGGING

Turn Up The Volume said: Three riff-mental haymakers. Three vitriolic sucker-punches. Three intimidatory knockouts. The Nothingheads‘ frontman sounds like his own meanest demon, threatening and ready to kick badasses. This EP was made to scare all the human-destroying rulers of our paranoid world. If we go to the dogs don’t forget to take this EP with you. It’ll help to channel your frustrations while Armageddon is grinning around the corner.

Stream/buy/dig the whole 5-track EP here…

Act: VIOLET NOX
Who: Experimental electro duo, Dez DeCarlo and Andrew Abrahamson,
from Boston who collaborate frequently with other artists.

EP: ERIS WAKES

Turn Up The Volume said: Violet Nox compose their spaced-out symphonies in an
electronic universe of their own where ambient music dominates in all its different reverberations. Soothing and meditative (opener Spaceport 5), tripping out (Eris / Bellatrix), spooky (Magnetar), and mind-puzzling (Ghost Star). It all feels utopian and cosmic. Foggy harmonies with Portishead‘s vocalist Beth Gibbons‘ transcended timbre and repetitive eurhythmics echoing German legends Tangerine Dream.

Close encounters of the third kind.
Sonic science-fiction. Stupefying

Band: THE DARTS
Who: Inflammable engine
from Phoenix, Arizona

Turn Up The Volume: wrote: The Darts? They sound cool, look cool and rawk ‘n roll cool.

This Devilish American Rip-roaring Turbo Squad do it again on this new 3-track EP
with a garage hurricane (Love Tsunami), a mid-tempo groover (Shit Show) and another
brisk belter (Underground). And again, Nicole Laurenne, the utterly charismatic dart in
the middle, fires up the cuts with her sexy 60s-sounding organ.

The electrifying Amazons hit the bullseye once more.

Press play here…

Artist: ROBIN GUTHRIE (Scotland)
Who: Co-founder of Cocteau Twins (1979–1997)

EP: RIVIERA

Turn Up The Volume wrote: An instrumental 4-track one with a featherlight, heavenly and spiritual magnificence. Stardust everywhere. If you’re not into all that festive end-of-the-year fuss (like me) play all Guthrie‘s 2021 releases on repeat. It’ll give you (and me) a mind-relaxing, soothing, and idyllic feel. Sparkling vibrations for the midnight hours. Guthrie transfers you to a blissful place.

Enjoy…

British veteran electro-rap-punk duo SLEAFORD MODS unleashed their
11th LP Spare Ribs at the beginning of this year, gaining a lot of praise

Okay, folks, here we don’t go…
