New Model Army are an English rock band formed in Bradford, West Yorkshire, in 1980 by lead vocalist, guitarist and principal songwriter Justin Sullivan, bassist Stuart Morrow and drummer Phil Tompkins. Sullivan has been the only continuous member of the band, which has seen numerous line-up changes in its four-decade history. Their music draws on influences across the musical spectrum, from punk and folk to soul, metal and classical. Sullivan’s lyrics, which range from directly political through to spiritual and personal, have always been considered as a key part of the band’s appeal.

No Rest for the Wicked is the second studio album by the English rock band New Model Army, released in May 1985. It was the band’s first release on major record label EMI, and their last featuring bassist and founding member Stuart Morrow. The album reached #22 in the UK Albums Chart.
