New Model Army - Today Is A Good Day (CD) |

New Model Army are a legendary global underground cult band. Formed by Justin Sullivan in Bradford in 1980, their beginnings were inspired by Punk Rock, Northern Soul and the incendiary atmosphere of the times. Since then, they have had a long, creative and eventful journey. They have been massively influential in "post-punk", "folk-rock", "politico-rock", "goth", "metal" and all kinds of musical sub-cultures but have successfully resisted belonging to any of these categories or genres. After nearly thirty years, they have never lost the ability to change, to thrill or to challenge and they remain central to the lives of thousands of fans from all walks of life spread across the world. In September this year they will release their eleventh studio album entitled Today Is A Good Day. Mostly written last autumn in the wake of the Wall Street Collapse (an event celebrated in the white-hot opening title track), the recording was postponed by the sudden and unexpected death at Christmas ofTommy Tee, the band's long-time friend and manager. However, with another long-time friend Chris Kimsey (notable for his work with the Rolling Stones, Jimmy Cliff, Killing Joke and countless others) at the controls, the album is now finished - once again filled with unclassifiable music and challenging lyrical ideas.The album tour will begin with a month in North America (where the band have an eventful history), continue through Europe until Christmas and on into Spring 2010.
