[The Oilman]

Basically, if Oil is not in my CD player, NEW MODEL ARMY is, end of story :)

The only band that can hold a torch to the Oils. Heck, they say screw the
record labels if they won't sell our records, we will! They keep going,
doing huge shows in Europe and travelling when they want to. They've got it
all, they experiment each album like the Oils and have had classic after
classic album.

Not enough can be said about this band
