[DID NOT ATTEND: May 19, 2022] Sleaford Mods / Sorry
It’s weird to me when bands that I like feud with each other.
So it was weird to me that Idles and Sleaford Mods would have some kind of shouting match feud with each other, especially since they both advocate for the same thing (it’s not even worth getting into what the feud was about).
I love Idles. I like Sleaford Mods–but I also thought they’d be really cool to see live.
I was pleased to get a ticket for this show, but then The Front Bottoms announced a show at White Eagle Hall and my son was really keen on going to see it. So, I basically blew off this show for The Front Bottoms. Which we wound up not going to anyway. Fortunately, Sleaford Mods seem to come to Philly a bunch, so I think I’ll get to see them next year.
Sorry is a fascinating band from England with kind of spoken/sung deadpan lyrics. But defining their music is really a challenge
Matty Pywell of GigWise stated that “Listening to Sorry’s discography is to hear a safari of different sounds, as eye catching as the next. One area might contain the grumbled discontent of punk and rock, whilst if you look close enough you can catch a flash of hip-hop and jazz. Grouping them into a single genre is a fool’s errand”. Lorenz and O’Bryen have themselves talked about their genre in music, describing it as pop music, while Lorenz has stated that “It’s just a bit annoying to be called post punk or grunge because I don’t think we are that.
I actually think the music is pretty weird and not very poppy at all. They’d have been a great opening act for Sleaford Mods and I hope they come back to the US sometime too.
