New Model Army’s 16th studio album ‘Unbroken’ was released in January 2024 to critical acclaim and reached top positions in official album charts all around the world. Full of guitars, searing vocals and with the emphasis on bass and drums which characterizes all their work, Unbroken has quickly been embraced by fans who find the band as powerful and poetic as ever on the new record.
It’s a huge year in touring for the band having already played 40 mostly sold-out gigs up to early May including London’s Roundhouse. They are now adding a SECOND UK TOUR in October and a date at Nottingham Rock City in December to their diary. In addition to European touring and festivals they are now scheduled to play nearly 100 live performances in over 20 different countries in 2024.
Formed in Bradford in 1980, New Model Army are storming through their fifth decade and show no signs of letting up. Passionately independent New Model Army continue to thrill fans spanning generations with their live shows and recorded work. They recently released a live double concert album ‘Sinfonia’ in September 2023 – a unique performance recorded with the Sinfonia Leipzig Orchestra at the Tempodrom venue in Berlin. ‘Unbroken’ is out now on CD, Colour Vinyl and Digital.
SUPPORT FROM THE AUTUMN SAINTS
The band’s music has its roots planted firmly in the American South, with lead singer Britt Strickland bringing the soulful, weighty music history of his home state of North Carolina to the City of Dreaming Spires.
The southern storytelling tradition made famous by the likes of Dylan and Johnny Cash is very much alive in the Saints’ music, with tales of hurricanes sweeping through the Appalachian Mountains and encounters with the devil at the crossroads unraveling in each song.
