Formed in Essex, England, in 1979, Modern English emerged from the post-punk scene with a sound that wove together moody atmospheres and melodic intensity. Best known for their timeless hit “I Melt with You,” the band blended art-rock sensibilities with lush, poetic songwriting that struck a balance between introspection and optimism. Over the decades, Modern English has continued to evolve, touring internationally and releasing new music that honors their origins while embracing contemporary energy and enduring emotional resonance.
