New Model Army

New Model Army's earliest material on their debut album Vengeance - The Independent Story could probably with some justification be regarded as modern punk, albeit more melodic than the works of many of their classic counterparts.

Through the years, however, New Model Army have experimented with a great number of musical styles and nurtured numerous different inspirations. As a rock band they generally stand out of the crowd having a greater emphasis on the rhythm section, which often contains references to R&B. Besides punk, they have also been classified as post-punk, folk rock, indie rock, gothic rock, rock noir and even metal amongst others. Their music is often regarded as intense, angry, and powerful, some might even say militant. However their repertoire is much wider and more subtle than that and also includes quieter, more emotive and softer material often featuring performed acoustically. Thus it would be inaccurate to simply classify them as any of these genres. Rather one should recognise them for what they really are; a very versatile underground cult rock band with many different musical roots. They have toured and recorded constantly for over 26 years and continue to do so and are considered a seminal influence by many contemporary younger rock bands.

Echoes and Shadows


With textural guitars and synths along with moody bass and thunderous drums, Echoes and Shadows is influenced by "Sturm und Drang": an emotional style of composition in the late 18th century characterized by the use of minor keys. Literally, "Storm and Stress".

Formed in late 2006, Echoes and Shadows is the power-trio that emerged from the disintegration of the members' previous band, Still Life Decay. After four years, which yielded three albums, and two national tours, the three instrumentalists felt that it had taken them as far as it could...

From the ashes arose Echoes and Shadows. Members Edu Mussi (guitar, synths), Alex Terhune (bass), and Bones (drums) progressed to this instrumental venture, playing their first New York appearances with British legends, New Model Army in December 2006. As New Model Army returns to the states in 2007, Echoes and Shadows will be the east coast support act, featuring special guest vocalist Burton C. Bell of Fear Factory
