Sleaford Mods felt out ahead, covering fresh ground alone at the time, before going on to inspire a raft of post-punk-infused artists to follow their lead in the album’s aftermath.
The album blitzes anthemic pop-punk next to autotuned, melancholic rap - two genres that inform one another now more than ever before - and packs in the most features ever on a Toro y Moi album.
The album mashes traditional songs and instrumentals - about death and drink, love and London - with those of frontman Shane MacGowan's - and all fuelled by the punk ethos.
1985 album of righteously strident political art punk from a bunch of righteously strident Dutch anarchist squatters. The band still puts out records, and they're still fucking great.

Galdive's Blue arrives as a deeply personal and emotionally resonant full-length album from the Indonesian dream-pop duo, capturing a year of reflection, healing, and creative renewal.
