Description

Before it was one of the darlings of British New Wave music, Modern English was a punk band called the Lepers, then a Bauhaus- and Joy Division-inspired goth/post-punk band. But in the early '80s the band reinvented itself as a pop outfit and quickly rose from the Essex club scene to international attention with its sophomore release, After the Snow, which included the breakout single "I Melt with You." Though it has not since paralleled the success it had with After the Snow, Modern English has a string of well-received albums and is still considered one of the standout acts of the MTV era.
