Modern English is a paragon of consistency. Formed in Colchester, Essex, England, the band has maintained the same core lineup since 1977: vocalist Robbie Grey, guitarist Gary McDowell, bassist Mick Conroy, and keyboardist Stephen Walker. In recent years, Modern English has become widely respected as post-punk innovators, thanks to younger generations discovering their catalog and new artists citing the band as an influence. This increased popularity has translated to sold-out tours performing their early albums and a main stage appearance at the 2023 Cruel World Festival in front of more than 25,000 people.
Modern English initially emerged in the midst of the UK’s late-’70s post-punk movement; in fact, Grey notes the group’s first concert ever was on a bill with Siouxsie and the Banshees and Adam and the Ants. The band recorded and sent a demo tape to a few record companies. Beggars Banquet liked what they heard-and Modern English became one of the first bands signed to the legendary 4AD label. The band’s 1981 debut album, Mesh & Lace, subsequently has become a post-punk touchstone alongside LPs by Joy Division, Wire, and the Chameleons-a dusky, atmospheric collection rooted in scraping guitar riffs, yearning vocals, and dark sonic effects.
“Even though it’s called post-punk now, it didn’t really have a name then,” Grey says of that time. “But that was one of the most important times in music, after punk rock, when all the bands in England got bored and started learning to play with effects. The keyboards were noisy, and the guitarists were using lots of pedals. No one was particularly musical in terms of musicianship, so we were more interested in sound. So that’s what you got from Joy Division, The Cure, Gang of Four, Bauhaus, us-whoever they were. It was more textures than songwriting.”
With the release of the new album, ‘1 2 3 4’ this winter, the guys have been on the road in Europe and the UK, opening for the Buzzcocks in some markets. They will head out on the Totally Tubular Festival in the US this summer with Thomas Dolby, Thompson Twins’ Tom Bailey, Modern English, Men Without Hats, The Romantics, Bow Wow Wow, Tommy Tutone, and The Plimsouls.
