UK duo Sleaford Mods released Divide & Exit earlier this year and one of its strongest songs, “Tiswas,” will be the basis for a new EP released on November 24 via Invada (the label cofounded by Portishead’s Geoff Barrow). Four brand new songs join “Tiswas” which frontman Jason Williamson describes thusly:

An attack on the waning power of guitar based rock n roll and its short-sighted viewpoint combined with the armchair anarchic lobbyists who fucking point their fingers at the masses like cunts. I know works shit but I’m not putting my daughter on the street to please you cunts.

The ‘Mods just released a video for “Tiswas” and you can watch that below. Aside: Tiswas, which was also the name of a very popular Britpop Night party in NYC, was a British children’s comedy/variety show that ran on Saturday mornings from 1974 – 1982 (The title was an acronym for “Today Is Saturday Watch And Smile”).

Shortly after releasing the Tiswas EP, Sleaford Mods will make their BrooklynVegan-presented North American debut at NYC’s The Wick on November 29 with The Rogers Sisters and The Gotobeds. Tickets are still available.
