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.

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.

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.

It’s not hard to imagine “Between Dog And Wolf” becoming one of the essential releases of 2013, for all fans of “non obvious” rock music. New Model Army fans are already .......
