Bradford, England (1980 – present)
New Model Army is an English band, formed in Bradford, West Yorkshire in 1980. They were more melodic than many of their classic counterparts, and are widely respected for their masterful songwriting and their unwavering political stance.
The band was named after the English revolutionary army of Oliver Cromwell. Led by guitarist / vocalist, Justin Sullivan (who performed under the name Slade The Leveller in the early 1980s) it was formed in 1980 together with drummer Robert Heaton and bassist Stuart Morrow in their hometown of Bradford, England. The group quickly grew an extremely loyal cult following, sometimes referred to as “the Family” by members.
The band collaborated with electric violinist Ed Alleyne-Johnson, who worked with them on their Top 30 single “Vagabonds”, and their album Thunder And Consolation, as well as touring extensively with them for five years.
The group also tours as ‘Justin Sullivan and Friends’ which means a more acoustic set without some players (which ones varies), and is linked to Red Sky Coven, in which Justin Sullivan also plays. In early 2003, Sullivan released Navigating By The Stars, a solo album recorded with other band members and featuring Danny Thompson on double bass, and Mark Feltham on harmonica.
After a short tour at the end of 2004, the group returned to the studio to record their ninth studio album, Carnival. EMI recently released a couple of remixed earlier albums. As the band themselves say it: “Although there is nothing new within the packages they have been very sympathetically re-packed and remastered and do sound very, very good.”

They seem to be having a terrible start of the year. First a horrible fire and now Nelson departs.I know that Justin and NMA will survive 2012 and hopefully write some wonderful music from the experience. I give the band my best wishes!

@Nice Santa, yeah for sure but I can see how the two bands, especially early on, could be seen as being kindred spirits and have a certain common thread. Growing out of the punk scene with big bass/drum driven, almost tribal grooves and textural, quite unique guitar playing. Not to mention both bands have awesome/interesting frontmen and lyricists! Two of my favorites haha.

It's quite strange to see KJ as similar artist here since they are a lot more aggressive than NMA.

Kevin Ridley, frontman for folk metal pioneers Skyclad, releases his debut solo album 'Flying In The Face Of Logic' on 4th July 2011. Since his solo stuff is a bit calmer than Skyclad's music, rather folk rock than folk metal, I thought some NMA fans might be interested. A video, a 'snippet mix' and three more clips from Kevin Ridley's album are available at Kevin's official website.

I started to listen to them exactly a week ago and the genius of this band dazzles me. It's so addictive, that in the middle of the night I need to listen them on headphones. And lyrics , pure genius.I needed exactly something like that. One of the best bands under the sun. Long live Justin and NMA.
