Sleaford Mods on course for a top ten album with ‘Key Markets’

Sleaford Mods look on course for actual chart success with their new album ‘Key Markets’.

According to midweek figures from the Official Charts Company, the Nottingham duo are currently in the top ten with their latest release.

With that news, Sleaford Mods have released a statement about their rise and the relationship they have with their home city. “Major labels can’t even get an ounce of that fucking feeling with the robots they sign, those cunts that buy out the charts week on week,” says Jason Williamson. “It’s within our interests to take some of what we see crumbling, back. Most of the time this is impossible and we are forced to watch as the microwaved idiots dominate all areas with a message of defeat. Their message tells us to give in, to become bland ambassadors on behalf of the board by pretending to be fucking sexy, or Keith Richards, and in return you get 50,000 twitter followers who haven’t got a fucking clue who they are, let alone who you are, but that doesn’t matter. They’ve bought into the image that’s elevated you. You are on the front pages for sucking eggs, earning pence and doing as they say.”

He continues by saying: “‘Key Markets’ is the collective work of Sleaford Mods, Harbinger Sound and the people who have come to the gigs in full support or bought the records, because it means something to them. This is the actual deal, hard work, all hands on deck. Steve was in town on the day of the album release on Friday in the pissing rain, making trips to and from home to restock the record in local independent shops that had sold out, because that’s how it works. It’s all fucking hands on deck. This is not a whimsical hark back to yesteryear or a demonstration of the old promotional techniques, this also isn’t a fucking history lesson. This is how it fucking should be. Live tonight, every night.”

The Chemical Brothers are set to take the top spot with ‘Born in the Echoes’, with Lamb of God and Roger Waters also on course for the top ten. Years & Years are set to be dislodged from the top spot.
