Following the release of their T.C.R EP earlier this year, Nottingham duo Sleaford Mods will release their new album English Tapas on Rough Trade Records on 3rd March 2017. The album was recorded in London at Steve Mackey’s West Heath Garage studios.

Of ‘English Tapas’, frontman Jason Williamson explains: 'Andrew walked into some random pub and saw “English Tapas” scrawled on the menu board. Underneath this beautiful coupling of words were its components: 'Half a scotch egg, cup of chips, pickle and a mini pork pie'. It says everything about this fucking place. It's comedy, it’s make do, it's ignorant and above all, it's shit".

Also set for release next year is Christine Franz’s Bunch of Kunst – the definitive Sleaford Mods film. Taking over two years to record, it charts the rise of the band from back street pub venues to rock arenas.

Irish electronic musician Jack Colleran, better known as MMOTHS, releases his final song under the nom de plume on Friday. “0034 will be the final MMOTHS track. Now just feels like the right time, more so than ever. Moving forward I'll be releasing music under my own name J Colleran… See you in 2017”.

Colleran released his debut album Luneworks last March via Because Music/OYAE. The self-produced record was the follow-up to 2012’s MMOTHS EP and 2013’s Diaries EP.

Having released a number of tracks on SoundCloud, MMOTHS was approached by and then signed to Los Angeles music label SQE Music. Since then, the Newbridge native has opened for Aphex Twin and At the Drive-In.

Colleran recently composed the soundtrack to Simone Rocha’s show at London Fashion Week and performed in front of an enraptured audience at the acclaimed designer’s show at Southwark Cathedral in October. Simone Rocha won Womenswear Designer of the Year at the British Fashion Council Awards for her collection which was soundtracked by Colleran.
