Formed by Justin Sullivanin 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 infl uential 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 that would have them as members. It’s not rare to hear their name when the biggest artists are asked about their inspirations.
Without the need to belong to a trend, New Model Armyenjoyed album sales in the millions despite they never tried to become a single or a radio band. Their music has attracted some of the biggest producers on the planet (Glyn Johns, Tom Dowd, Andy Wallace, Bob Clearmountain) and have built up an almost religious devotion amongst fans.
Having grasped early on that the Internet was going to revolutionize the music business, from the mid-1990s they set out on the now fashionable wholly independent path of controlling all aspects of their output. As a result, they have handled their career refusing to sign a “traditional” label deal until the recent relationship with earMUSIC.
There are very few bands in NMA’s position of being able to record and release what they like when they like, while maintaining a worldwide following and all without making a single artistic or commercial compromise.
Originally formed as a three piece, the current fi ve piece features Justin Sullivan, Michael Deanon drums, Dean Whiteon keyboards, Marshall Gillon guitar and their latest additionn, Ceri Monger on bass.
