[edit] Influences

In common with their music These New Puritans influneces are ecclatic. In a recent interview with Cuckoo Press magazine Jack said that "Wu Tang Clan are massively influential "spitting the code", as roots manuva puts it, is what I do". While the Guardian said that "These New Puritans make stern threatening punk inspired by The Fall, Franz Kafka and Elizabethan magician John Dee.". However Jack tends not to use the word influence lightly often stating that he really doesnt think much about influences.


[edit] Projects

TNPS have been involved with Hedi Slimane making music for the Dior Homme Show 2007. Both the music and the clothes got postive reviews.

TNPS are also heavily involved with the junk club often playing there with their freinds the Horrors. Both are know to share heavy fall infulences.
