Sleaford Mods: 'Kasabian lost their roots long ago'

"Rock n' roll's fucking gone, isn't it?" shrugs Sleaford Mods' Jason Williamson, talking to Gigwise backstage at Camden's Electric Ballroom. But, unfortunately for Kasabian's Serge Pizzorno, Williamson is only just getting started.

Watch part one of our NSFW video interview with Sleaford Mods on Kasabian, Noel Gallagher and rock n' roll above above.

The state of rock n' roll remains open to debate, but Kasabian's Serge Pizzorno thinks the lack of it at the BRIT Awards is a 'conspiracy' - against his and other working class bands.

"I heard that on the radio, I flew into a fucking rage," Williamson tells Gigwise. "It really pissed me off, y'know, all these c***ts playing the working class card. You know 'Oh, what kind of example is this setting to the working class kids if we're not on that fucking show?' Really? They said goodbye to their roots a long time ago. Fuck off." 

He continued: "What are they saying about the younger generation? What are they saying about the working class? What have they ever said about the working class? Nothing, fuck off. It's like Gallagher, he's the same. Playing up to the working class thing - he still thinks he's working class. No, no no no no - it doesn't work like that mate." 

See part one of our video interview here, with the Notts heroes discussing the 'Keith Richards bollocks' of rock n' roll, and what it really means in a changed new world.
