Tiswas EP is the debut extended play by the English duo Sleaford Mods, released on 24 November 2014 through Invada Records and produced by Andrew Fearn. The record takes its name from its title track that previously appeared on the band's previous album Divide and Exit (2014), which is in turn a reference to Tiswas, the UK children's television show from the 1970s and 1980s.
The remainder of the EP features four original tracks, which show the band incorporating elements of hip-hop and funk with the use of Fearn's minimalist backing tracks, whilst Jason Williamson's vocals and lyrics focus more on a dark and direct approach, often referencing popular figures and places. Tiswas EP was met with positive reviews upon release and peaked at no. 48 on the UK Physical Singles Chart.
