One of the massive discoveries of this project for me has been New Model Army, a band that should have been much much bigger than they were. A next step from punk, assertive and catchy, groovy and danceable but not to the point of Big Audio Dynamite, NMA has teeth and they are sharp.
I love this record, I love that I dot to discover them 30+ years later and marvel at how, three records in a row they have remained virtually anonymous but killer.
Honestly, I want to keep this going just to watch New Model Army keep pressing on. They put out a new album last year and the one before that was hailed as one of their best.
