Sleaford Mods announce new album Eton Alive, Getintothis’ Conor Mooney on their forthcoming UK dates including Liverpool O2 Academy.
Sleaford Mods, whose new album Eton Alive is set for release in February, will play Liverpool O2 Academy on Saturday, March 2, 2019.
Their fifth studio album, Eton Alive, will be the first to be released on the duo’s own newly formed label, Extreme Eating, after parting ways with Rough Trade Records.
Recorded in their hometown of Nottingham, the album promises to deliver more of the distinctive lyrical bite, political vitriol and homemade beats that have made them a cult success over the past decade.
Getintothis staff share their personal stories on their favourite albums
Jason Williamson, one half of the outfit, said of the new record: “Eton Alive speaks for itself really. Here we are once again in the middle of another elitist plan being digested slowly as we wait to be turned into faeces once more.
“Some already are, some are dead and the rest of us erode in the belly of prehistoric ideology which depending on our abilities and willingness, assigns to each of us varying levels of comfort that range from horrible to reasonably acceptable, based on contribution.
“So, after the digestive system of the Nobles rejects our inedible bones, we exit the Arse of Rule, we fall into the toilet again and at the mercy of whatever policies are holding order in the shit pipe of this tatty civilisation. It is here our flesh regenerates as we rattle into another form, ready, and ripe for order.“
Sleaford Mods – a voice for the voiceless – a Getintothis feature
They return to Liverpool after a memorable 2016 in the city, which saw them play high up the bill at Sound City as well as a frenetic Mountford Hall gig.
