The Modern blend anthemic pop with post-punk intelligence to create a sound that is altogether new and refreshing. "People are finally seeing how influential bands like The Cure, XTC and Joy Division were, bands that were guitar driven but were also pop," says Nathan. "We want to combine the electroclash, synth pop, edgy guitar image and production values with pop songs that people latch onto."

"The current obsession with materialism in contemporary music appeals solely to the impoverished mind. Let's have something new. Let's move on." These are the musings of Chi Tudor-Hart, which are echoed in The Modern's penchant for the theatrical, style and retro-futurism. As extravagant as The Darkness, as flamboyant as Scissor Sisters, The Modern are about low life and high drama, rainy streets and lost weekends, packed nightclubs and empty cinemas.
