Vengeance, New Model Army's debut album, came out in 1984 on the independent Abstract Records, and it snarls like the angriest letter ever posted from Bradford. Justin Sullivan sings, plays guitar and writes the words, a lyricist who could go straight for the political throat, with Stuart Morrow's bass leading from the front and Robert Heaton also in the lineup, punk in its roots but already refusing to stay inside the lines.
Playing "Christian Militia" and "Small Town England" live on Channel 4's The Tube did the rest: the album went into the UK Indie Chart at number one. No Rest for the Wicked followed, and Vengeance kept coming back, reissued in 1987 as Vengeance: The Independent Story with the early singles added, and again in 2012 as Vengeance: The Whole Story 1980-84, adding a second disc of early demos and radio sessions.
