Even if you don’t much care for the music of Sleaford Mods, you have to say that they’ve been a refreshing and valuable voice in the increasingly homogenised world of mainstream rock over the past few years. This two-disc set - the Bunch Of Kunst documentary DVD and a live album recorded at Berlin’s legendary SO36 - provides a neat insight into what makes the Poundland Pet Shop Boys so vital.
 
Staff note from Phil:
This looks ace. I've wanted to see this film for a good while now. Looking forward to getting comfy on the sofa with the missus and seeing if we can learn any new swear words. Oh and there's a CD of the SO36 LP for those who don't like the black shiny things.

Thanks to their sweary rants about modern England, Nottingham duo Sleaford Mods have been called "The world's greatest rock 'n' roll band" by Iggy Pop and "the soundtrack to post-Brexit Britain" by the Guardian. Jason Williamson, a former chicken factory worker and father of two, his band mate, beatmaker Andrew Fearn, and their manager Steve Underwood, avant-garde bedroom label owner and former bus driver, have won over fans with their brutally honest lyrics and DIY ethos. Following them on their two-year journey from Sherwood to chart success, award-winning music documentary Bunch of Kunst tells the story of three guys taking on the music business on their own terms. ,This documentary film is the perfect antidote to those sexy, racy, rock'n'roll yawns most bands hide behind. We are indeed, a Bunch Of Kunst." Jason Williamson, Sleaford Mods Q Awards 2017 winner "Best Film" // NME Awards 2018 nominee "Best Music Film" // Mojo Magazine (283/June 2017) **** "A refusenik DIY anti-rock-doc" // HeyUGuys **** "This generation's The Filth and the Fury" // The Guardian **** "Excellent..Rips Austerity Britain a fresh one" // The Scotsman on Sunday **** "One of the most entertaining music docs of recent years" // Louder Than War "Every young band and every music college should be forced to show this film just to underline the genuine power of music and creativity." The CD was recorded at SO36 Berlin on June 19th, and features the complete unedited performance, originally released in an edited form as a vinyl LP on Harbinger Sound.
