New Model Army / Re: Am I the only one that loves "Strange Brotherhood" album ??

« Last post by Guillaume on August 26, 2026, 08:30:27 PM »

Here's NMA playing a concert in front of a huge audience, in Germany, for the "Strange Brotherhood" Tour, in July 1998:

"Headlights" is still one of my fav NMA songs, for the lyrics and the music, bur unfortunately not often played live these days!

My Dad was a huge fan so I grew up listening to her stuff... not really my cup of tea but I can appreciate that she was an absolute legend in her field so this is sad news.

Quote liked her as an actress, though... 9 To 5, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, Steel Magnolias... genui9ne charisma right there.

I have just read an online article from The Guardian newspaper reviewing some of her songs (not the ones people like me know,her hits etc.) but songs from some of her albums.....well worth a read...RIP Dolly

R.I.P. Dolly Parton. Such a gifted musician and apparently lovely person. Red Sky Coven covered "Jolene" in 1993, and as somebody who likes songs to tell stories, Justin Sullivan very much admired the lyrics of that song (see e.g. https://www.b-sidemusic.co.uk/post/167515929652/interview-music-comes-from-desire-a-word-with).

Funny you should ask. I was active on the noticeboard in the late 90s-early 2000s and just recently thought about revisiting. And here I am/it is!

This is about as close as I get to any form of social media. So, I hope the board persists, even if it isn't as heavily trafficked as it used to be. Though I have seen more than a few NMA gigs over the years, the band hasn't visited my region in over a decade; it's reassuring to connect with other fans here.

Welcome back! Please post some memories of your times when you were here... might even ignite the memories of other folks!

The "journalist" was comparing NMA to U2 and The Sex Pistols, Justin to Simon Le Bon, and Robert Heaton to Charlie Watts!...

If I remember correctly, in the documentary "Between Dog and Wolf: The NMA Story," someone says that NMA was constantly mocked by the British music press in the 80s and 90s, that NME magazine didn't like...NMA! I thought it was an exaggeration because I had found press clippings, British reviews favorable to "The Ghost of Cain," "Thunder and Consolation," and "Impurity," but this NME review of "Impurity" seems to support the idea of a band absurdly treated by the British press at the time. Name me some others English Rock bands that have had a loyal following for years and have been regularly criticized by the English music press? I imagine there must be a few?

Barbara Ellen from NME didn't like IMPURITY in 1990!:

Wow, what piece of "journalism" that was. I wonder what drove her to write this piece, her motivation. I must admit i had to grin while reading, there's some kind of effort there to make it tough, but it fails that so hard. Seems like some kind of a personal agenda there..
