"We have all been robbed, and it's still going on. It's bringing the country to disaster": 40 years down the road, New Model Army are as uncompromising as ever

.

Since forming in Bradford in 1980, New Model Army have gained a reputation as a no-compromise, conscientious rock band drawing on punk, folk, soul and even classical themes. Below, co-founding frontman Justin Sullivan sets the scene for the next leg of their tour to promote Unbroken, their appropriately titled sixteenth studio album.

The dates begin on April 10 at Tavastia in Helsinki, Finland, and wrap up at London's iconic Roundhouse on May 11. For full dates and tickets, visit the New Model Army website.
