The legendary New Model Army is taking their latest album, Unbroken, on the road. They’re kicking things off with a series of electrifying shows across the UK and Ireland this week. As if that weren’t enough to stir the punk spirit, the band has also secured a coveted spot as the Saturday night headliners on the Avalon Stage at this year’s Glastonbury Festival.

Critics and fans alike have praised the album for its raw power and lyrical depth, with Vive Le Rock calling it “a scorcher” and Classic Rock noting its “timeless, ireful and poetic” essence.
