I remember first time I saw their live performance, I legitimately thought Jason had tourette's. Those twitchings and crow caws are priceless.

Happiest blokes from Nottingham

revisiting these lads since half a decennium or something and they're labeled crank wave now? what the hell is even that. the Mods should complain about dumb genre names on their next album, to give voice to the worries of middle-aged men who have trouble keeping up

The hate is just dumb. They're pretty great

How weak is your position that you demand that other people share your views? We are all brainwashed by the media, we don’t even know 10% of the truth.

lol. This pair sound like those old blokes who meet in Wetherspoons to complain about everything that the rest of the world is enjoying.
