New Model Army are an English post-punk/alternative rock band formed in Bradford, West Yorkshire in 1980 by lead singer and main composer Justin Sullivan, bassist Stuart Morrow and drummer Phil Tompkins. Sullivan has been the only continuous member of the band, which has seen numerous line-up changes in its 35 year history. Their music draws on influences across the musical spectrum, from punk and folk to soul, metal and classical. Sullivan’s lyrics, which range from directly political through to spiritual and personal, have always been considered as a key part of the band’s appeal. The band has a loyal, global, multi-generational following often known as ‘The Family’.
