Carnival - New Model Army

of dumbing down and re-branding but as it becomes apparent that those at the top of the system care very little for anything but themselves, the importance of bands like New Model Army only increases. New Model Army have always been something of an underground band, though if measured in album sales or sheer tribal devotion of the fans would surprise many at their popularity, its just that being that money and chart position are things that are of little concern to the band, they are sometimes hard to spot in the corporate world of "selling units" and "hit singles". The release of Carnival, therefore, like most of their albums, probably made very ...

Eight - New Model Army

a career (well, clearly not 'after') is fantastic. you have just dug up: an unexploded bomb 2. You Weren't There A slow song.
