New Model Army
New Model Army are a modern punk band, more melodic than many of their classic counterparts and widely respected for their unwavering political stance and working class ethics. 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 1980's), the group has an extremely loyal core following. At their best, the Army's music is intense, angry, and powerful; the group experiments frequently with quieter, acoustic material, which sometimes captures the feel of their best punk work and sometimes doesn't.
