New Model Army

 

I will always see Brendan at that broken-down piano

His fingers thick and red, shaking on the keys

Battered by the years of alcohol and working

Still playing with a faith that never leaves

So sit us down, buy us a drink, tell us a good story

Sing us a song that we know to be true

I don't give a damn that I never will be worthy

Fear is the only enemy that I still know

 

A

 band from Bradford, England, with an extremely sparse, dark, stripped-down sound. They have never been accused of writing cheerful songs, but the texts - frequently of a political nature - are often superb. The same can be said of the riotous concerts, particularly when the singer Justin Sullivan is in a nasty mood...
