Sleaford Mods frontman on addiction, recovery and family estrangement
New year, new series. My first guest for 2026 is Jason Williamson from Sleaford Mods. Known for his furious, funny and brutally honest lyrics about post-austerity Britain, masculinity, class, love and addiction, Jason has helped build one of the most passionate fanbases in British music over the past decade. We met at his label’s London offices just before Christmas for a wide-ranging, unfiltered conversation covering everything from Andrew Tate to Amazon shopping, family estrangement and getting sober. The sound’s a little raw in places (sorry about that), but Jason is thoughtful, open and completely compelling. I loved the chat — I hope you enjoy it too.
