Legendary English rockers 𝙉𝙚𝙬 𝙈𝙤𝙙𝙚𝙡 𝘼𝙧𝙢𝙮 return to Bucharest this winter to perform at Control Club, December 2, in support of their 16th studio album, Unbroken, released earlier this year.
Formed in Bradford in 1980, New Model Army are storming through their fifth decade and show no signs of letting up. 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.
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. It’s a huge year in touring for the band with dates throughout the year in the UK, Europe and Latin America. With a vast number of their Spring Unbroken Tour dates sold out, they have announced Part II adding over 20 more dates to their calendar around Europe this Autumn.
The band started writing the album in 2021 against a backdrop of everything that is happening in a fast-changing world and in their own lives. They decided early on that their number one choice to mix the new album would be the legendary Tchad Blake. Full of guitars, searing vocals and with the emphasis on bass and drums which characterises all their work, Unbroken sounds a lot like New Model Army, but different again.
“Unbroken is a scorcher. A no-messing-about embrace of the essence of NMA… which bares its soul from the outset without the merest hint of inscrutability. And yet it shimmers with diversity” – Vive Le Rock
