Sleaford Mods have shared a new single, “Megaton”, available via Rough Trade and with all proceeds of the song going to War Child.

The video for the song was directed by Nick Waplington.

Jason Williamson shared this about the song: “We should be aligned with one another but instead we are crippled by social media and the resulting separatism: Genocide… swipe… gym bods… swipe… food pics… swipe… starvation. Killing upon killing, so much terrible, horrifying information followed by a cat meme followed by faces filtered beyond recognition. Such is the weight of trauma, guilt and powerlessness in privileged societies that we squirm like an overloaded petri dish full of algae fed by the algorithm. Everything is wrong and everything as a reaction is argued to be right, and in this we give birth to behaviours that smother solidarity and cause mass waves of haemorrhaging alienation while the world quietly collapses offscreen.”
