Formed in Bradford in 1980, New Model Army’s beginnings were inspired by Northern Soul, Punk Rock and the incendiary atmosphere of the times. Since then, they have had a long, creative and eventful journey. They have been massively influential in ‘post-punk’, ‘folk-rock’, ‘political-rock’, ‘goth’, ‘metal’ and all kinds of musical sub-cultures but they have steadfastly refused to belong to any club or style. Without a specific ‘genre’ audience, and never having had a massive worldwide hit single, New Model Army still have album sales in the millions, have attracted some of the biggest producers on the planet (Glyn Johns, Tom Dowd, Andy Wallace, Bob Clearmountain, Joe Barresi) and have built up an almost religious devotion amongst their worldwide following. This has put the band perfectly placed to withstand all the changes in the Industry and they have outlasted most of their peers, all without making a single artistic or commercial compromise. Recent years have also seen a revival in the band’s critical and commercial fortunes. The “Between Dog and Wolf”, “Between Wine and Blood” (2013/14), “Winter” (2016), "From Here" (2019) and "Unbroken" (2024) albums have all returned the band to the mainstream charts. Originally formed as a three piece, the current four piece features Justin Sullivan on main vocal and guitar, Michael Dean on drums, Dean White on keyboards and guitar and Ceri Monger on bass.
