yeah but whats it about? is it about brits going to Belfast or what? are the new model army one of these english patriotic bands ultimately? do they love the world? because i love the bands music but i hate the name - cromwells murdering army that commited genocide on Ireland or do the fans know anything about the real meaning of the new model army?
I highly doubt the members of NMA condone what theNew Model Army did. Their music is very much anti-war, and takes every oppurtunity to denounce nationalism and out-group hostility.

During the british civil war the New Model Army was the army equipped with the most advanced gear available. So my guess here the idea is that the band carries the name to tell they have the most advanced weaponry: instruments and lyrics.

Sometimes a band's name is used mockingly. jeglikerkuken is right about this band, they are very anti-war and anti-nationalist. A similar example is the band Die Krupps. They are named after the Krupps family/corporation who supplied munitions to the nazi's in the 30's and 40's. Their name is not in tribute, it is to remind people of the horrors that occurred and how these willing participants in such atrocities still linger today.
