Armoured WizardI don't think I've asked on here recently, so let's give it a go:
Who are the Spiritual Successors to New Model Army?
Jake in the desert@ArmouredWizard okay, I gotta give it to you, maybe heard OF these guys in passing, didn't know their sound - had to look it up. It has almost a punk kinda feel, right on the edge, like some New Age/Cars from the 70s, the punk of the 80s? First thing that came to mind is oi. Does everything remind me of oi? Maybe. đ but my favorite oi album recently is this. Similar vibes? From last year.

And then I thought of the Briefs. This is my favorite of theirs. From 2019. My #2 punk album of all time.

Both fairly stripped down, super simple, hooky punk type stuff that I love. But not crap radio pop punk like Blink.
Renaissance, by Béton Armé
11 track album
@jake4480 They definitely have some punk vibes, but also some melody (fun fact: A fitting anagram of New Model Army is "Raw Melody Men"!)
