Modern English

Добавлен 10 июн 2020
Formed in Colchester, Essex, England, in 1979 by Robbie Grey (vocals), Gary McDowell (guitar, vocals), and Michael Conroy (bass, vocals). Richard Brown (drums) and Stephen Walker (keyboards)were subsequently added to the lineup of the band.
On 1982's After the Snow, the band's sound evolved from the dark, moody and challenging post-punk found on its debut, Mesh & Lace, to a more commercial and radio friendly mix of synthesizers, guitars, catchy drumbeats and singer Robby Grey's unmistakable vocals. "I Melt With You” brought the band up from the underground to the mainstream. It's a song so popular that the band was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2020 BMI Awards for 7 million plays on radio. Modern English is currently on tour and playing new music.

"Not Fake" is the latest single from our new album '1 2 3 4' "We live in a fake world where the less humanity you have, the better you are. The moral compass is off.

Not My Leader

Our new single from the forthcoming album 1 2 3 4. “Not My Leader” is a scathing observation on politics in the U.S. and the UK and how they aren’t dissimilar. “I remember first coming to America in the early-’80s,” frontman Robbie Grey recalls. “We had Margaret Thatcher, and you had Ronald Reagan. And then fast forward to today to Donald Trump and all the politicians and corporate organization...
Crazy Lovers
Просмотров 6 тыс.10 месяцев назад
Our new single from the forthcoming album 1 2 3 4. "Crazy Lovers” is a keyboard-forward, melodic rocker about being lost in sound, lost in a moment, and the creative process of love and life. Robbie Grey says" Originally it was a very slow song that the producer Mario J McNulty suggested we speed right up; It was a great idea and gives it a lot of life, energy as well as a cool groove. " We're ...

Lots to say. First Robbie did it with this song when he was a teenager. It just connects on so many levels. Now, the fact that he hasn't let it slip away is very cool. This composition has something that is hard to explain. I think it is a new dynamic. Gary McDowell brings some amazing stuff. I have been watching it over and over and will continue . I think viewer numbers will just keep going up because its a classic with a whole lot of new new new.
I saw them at the Totally Tubular Festival and they were fantastic! The entire festival concert was a one in a life time treat
Still sounds good.
Brings me to a happy place and sex, drugs, and new wave🗽🏇🏻😍🤫😎🤠👽👽👽👽
So much my teenage amazing wonderful life,, My favorite song ever,, listen to it daily , honest!!
The perfect song to end Valley Girl as the limo fades to titles….absolutely perfect! Love it!
The singer still sounds great.
The great 80's will never be replicated.
That is possibly the best version they have done.
Five stars
still sounds great
I would rewatch Valley Girl just to hear this song in the 80’s
Hell yeah!
One of the best songs! Talent is unbeatable! 💥💥💥💥💥
Awesome 👏. Made my day.
This song really was a game changer. This was the era where we went from Verse, Chorus, Verse, Chorus, Bridge Chorus Out, to very subtle builds and several tasteful breaks and new parts to delight from the start to the finish of the song. It sounds simple because it's so well known, but they made so many great choices.
Still sounds awesome and stops me in my tracks 👍👍👍👍👍
You played in Toronto a couple of months ago. I upgraded our tickets to the 4th row on the floor. Unfortunately, my best friend in the world couldn't attend. I just couldn't go with anyone, but her😢 this song will remind me of her every time I hear it!! Such a great band!
The song is one fantastic riff after another. One of the best tunes ever written.
This was my wife and I's wedding song. I miss the eighties.
One of my all time favorite songs. Looking good!!!
We should know better :)
The keyboard is wonderful :)
This Song is In My Top 5 !! It’s our wedding song 😊
I love this song!! 🧡🧡🩵❤❤💚💚
This. Brings back very fond memories of the 1980s. Also, how a live show should be. Great musicians, great music, simple-ish stage. My favorite shows were all in relatively small venues with easy stage setups. Would love to see you guys play the East Coast of the US hitting small venues close to me. 😁 Cheers, and thanks!
Ah! My forever crush - Robbie.. From the first moment I heard this song right onto today. Thank you Modern English for your amazing songs and energy - a true gift to this world.
Hey Old Friends it's Eddie from NYC here. Good to see you guys still going strong. Hopefully our paths will cross again. I'm living in Pennsylvania now, near Hershey. We had some good times. Hey Steve, give April a call she was asking about you.✝️✌️
Deborah Foreman.... ♥♥♥
Like a time machine to eighteen... ❤️
So true…those were the days!
Thanks for the Musick!!! 🌊 🪄🎶
The future's open wide!! 🥀
Hmmm hmmm hmmm
Oh.....how I miss the eighties and the GREAT music that came out of that era. What I wouldn't give to go back to this magical time in my life.
80s was the best era..
hershey chocolate commercial
Oh, it was so much more that a bit that got sold for ads. This is one of the songs that defined the fall of 1982 and all of 1983. Play this and anyone who watched MTV then will jump right back and remember something from that time associated with I Melt With You. Can't believe I still love this so much. Thank God I'm a Gen Xer!
Voice aged like a fine wine.
The 80s had such great music ,today's music can't hold up
Well, I’m sure this obvious for most, but these aren’t all original members, right?
I went on a date to a matinee of some movie in 1983, I guess it was. Looking at the comments here, I guess it must have been the movie “Valley Girl.” I don’t remember anything about the movie and didn’t think much of the movie after watching it, but that was the first time I heard this song. I immediately went and bought the album. My date liked the movie, and must have gotten turned on by it, so needless to say, the rest of that afternoon progressed very nicely. I’m still in touch with her, so I guess this is our song.
Fantastic version..love it❤
The elephant in the room loves the camera.
Bravo, great rendition, woke me up-got me going, a great start to a new da!!!!
