To their impassioned cult of fans, New Model Army are one of the best post-punk outfits Great Britain ever produced. Combining the gut-level force of punk with the anthemic political fervor of U2 and the Alarm, as well as the urban protest folk of Billy Bragg, NMA sounded like few other bands mining similar post-punk territory. Throughout their career, they remained staunch advocates of the British working class, occasionally tempering their leftist, anti-Thatcher political fury with moments of personal introspection. Their best work earned them tremendous acclaim in the U.K., where their singles regularly placed in the lower reaches of the pop charts. U.K.-specific lyrical references, coupled with visa problems that sometimes made touring difficult, ensured that they were all but ignored in the U.S. Still, they maintained a strong following in Europe and at home, with their 15th studio LP, 2024's Unbroken, charting in the U.K. Top 40.
Members of New Model Army include, or have included, Michael Dean, Justin Sullivan, Ricky Warwick and more.
