Thanks Eric! 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 2017 BMI Awards for 5 million plays on radio. Modern English would record various records over the years, and most recently, the band released its latest album, 2017’s Take Me To The Trees. 00:00 16 Days 04:40 Gathering Dust 09:30 Someone's Calling 14:48 After The Snow 19:15 Carry Me Down 26:15 Black Houses 33:45 Long In The Tooth 37:23 Swans On Glass 42:51 Hands Across The Sea 50:15 I Melt With You
