Sleaford Mods Return With 'Megaton,' Donating All Profits to War Child

The release marks the duo’s first new music in about two years.

Overview

  • The single is out now with a Nick Waplington–directed video filmed at Speaker’s Corner in London’s Hyde Park.
  • Jason Williamson’s refrain “Megaton, No War No Death!” drives lyrics that critique social-media separatism and societal numbness.
  • A seven-inch edition with B-side “Give ’Em What They Want” is available for pre-order in red via Rough Trade, blue via indie shops, and standard black.
  • All profits from streams and sales will support War Child’s work with children affected by conflict.
  • Williamson appears in the trailer for GAME, a Geoff Barrow–produced thriller set for UK release in November, as the band begins sessions for a new album.
