Andrew Fearn: the quiet half of Sleaford Mods opens up to Viva!

Andrew Fearn, the quiet half of Sleaford Mods, the bedroom musician half and the half that soundtracks the caustic narratives of the other half, Jason Williamson, opens up about his vegan journey, compassion for animals and trying to do what he can.   Sleaford Mods have described their work as "electronic munt minimalist punk-hop rants for the working class." Williamson is responsible for the words, Fearn for the music. Sleaford Mods songs have been described as embittered rants about such topics as unemployment, modern working life, celebrities and pop culture, capitalism, and society in general.  In this conversation, Andrew and Faye discuss topics, such as:   austerity and poverty in the UK   becoming very famous and what it feels like   Andrew's interest in charities, from Viva! to Shelter   the best places for vegan food while touring  playing the Sydney Opera House   how he tries to use his platform to highlight causes he cares about    About Our Show   Listen now by clicking the play icon below.
