The Hook Up and New Model Army have worked together on their distribution agreement, licensing back catalogue back from previous labels, concept and design for their 30th Anniversary Box Set and various aspects of the running of their Attack Attack label….
New Model Army is a legendary global underground cult band. Formed by Justin Sullivan in Bradford in 1980, their beginnings were inspired by Northern Soul, Punk Rock and the incendiary atmosphere of the time. Since then, their career has been a long, creative and eventful journey.
Without ever having had a Top 20 hit in any country in their 29 year history, New Model Army have album sales in the millions, have attracted some of the biggest producers on the planet (Glyn Johns, Tom Dowd, Andy Wallace, Bob Clearmountain) and have built up an almost religious devotion amongst fans.
Having grasped early on that the Internet was going to revolutionize the way music is sold, from the mid 1990s they set out on the now fashionable wholly independent path of controlling all aspects of their output. As a result they were perfectly placed to withstand the changes in the Industry and have outlasted most of their peers, without making a single compromise.
In September of 2009 they released their eleventh studio album entitled ‘Today Is A Good Day’. Mostly written last autumn in the wake of the Wall Street Collapse and with 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 once again filled with unclassifiable music and challenging lyrical ideas.
Having recently returned from a successful European tour, the band is now putting plans together for a very special 30th anniversary tour in the autumn.
