Protest Song
 New Model Army (Music) / int_16d8476f
comment
Protest Song: "I Did Nothing Wrong" doesn't directly mention the British Horizon scandal, a miscarriage of justice in which computer errors meant that almost a thousand people were wrongly prosecuted for theft and fraud, but it's very recognisable to anyone who knows the story. The band have confirmed the connection in interviews. "Another Imperial Day" is a scathing look at the way the UK treats refugees and asylum seekers. The Title Drop at the end contrasts the arriving migrants with the British bombers heading to their homelands.

comment
Small Town Boredom: The protagonist of "Green and Grey" writes to a friend who's left for the big city, "the land of gold and poison / that beckons to us all". The singer criticises their decision, but acknowledges that more young people are leaving every day, feeling that nothing changes in their town and everything happens "somewhere else".

comment
Precision F-Strike: Despite the anger behind many of their songs, there's no significant swearing on most New Model Army albums. 2024's Unbroken is the exception, but limits the swearing to a couple of lines in a single song, "Reload".

Genre Mashup: In founder Justin Sullivan's own words: "We've been labelled as punks, post-punks, goth, metal, folk – the lot, but we've always been beyond those style confines."

Written by the Winners: "Drag It Down" talks about modern society tearing down statues, abandoning faith, and destroying its tales of heroes and magic. The song takes the view that "Mammon is a jealous master" who's now triumphed, discrediting and destroying the past.

Argentina Is Nazi-Land
 New Model Army (Music) / int_dc2f86b9
comment
Argentina Is Nazi Land: "Vengeance" starts by describing a Nazi who fled to South America in '45 after committing atrocities in the camps. He's warned that he can live his life "in expectant fear" as some day he'll pay for his crimes.
