Today’s video of the day is Sleaford Mods – "Bad Santa" released in 2025.
Sleaford Mods return with Bad Santa (JT Soar Live Sessions), released on November 20, 2025. The clip captures the duo in a stark, intimate setting. It was filmed at JT Soar in Nottingham. This DIY space reflects their roots. Jason Williamson delivers sharp spoken vocals. Meanwhile, Andrew Fearn drives a sparse, three-note beat. An unexpected Enigma “Sadeness” sample adds tension. As a result, the performance feels confrontational and direct.
The song appears on their upcoming album The Demise of Planet X. Rough Trade Records will release it on January 16, 2026. “Bad Santa” serves as the third single. Lyrically, it targets toxic masculinity and political posturing. Williamson also critiques modern alpha culture. He frames it as personal boundary-setting. Compared to earlier singles, this track feels colder. However, it keeps their trademark minimalism intact.
Sleaford Mods formed in Nottingham in 2007. Over time, they became voices of modern British discontent. Albums like Divide and Exit and English Tapas sharpened their social commentary. Later records expanded their sound without losing bite. The Demise of Planet X continues that arc. It refines their stripped-back approach rather than replacing it. Therefore, “Bad Santa” fits neatly within their catalog. It shows a band still evolving, yet fiercely consistent.
