In an euphoric atmosphere, the British have done a very intense concert, truly apotheosic: the audience that almost filled the room has jumped, sung and danced in perfect anarchy, and it wasn't just the youngsters that moved the most. There have even been people making castles. The atmosphere was electric.
His singer and only original member, Justin Sullivan, has explained several things between song and song, has pointed to Brexit as a disgrace, has ensured that he could be a victim of the coronavirus because he is over 60 years old, claim against attendees who recorded the concert with the smartphone ("There are a thousand versions of my songs on YouTube but nobody watch them") or ironic that the Catalans have "something" with the Spanish, talking about nationalisms in general.
There have been NMA songs for all tastes: more folk, more rock and even more punk but all have been welcomed among an audience, with a significant foreign quota, who seemed to follow them since the 1980s and some dressed following the sinister fashion of the epoch. In the absence of a violinist, the public has simulated it in the song ‘Vagabonds’, a great ‘hit’ of the group, not too well. Songs such as No Rest, The Church, 51th State or Island have appeared on the set list.
The group is characterized by its difficult cataloging, despite having roots in punk-rock, they have been pointed out as a post-punk, goth, alternative rock, folk, metal, soul… With lyrics that affect both politics and the spiritual
Currently the band is formed by Justin Sullivan, Michael Dean, Dean White, Marshall Gill and Ceri Monger.
