From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Justin Sullivan (born April 8, 1956) is an English singer and songwriter, the frontman and lyricist of British rock band New Model Army, which he formed in 1980 together with drummer Robert Heaton and bassist Stuart Morrow in their hometown of Bradford, England. In the early 1980s he performed under the stage name of Slade the Leveller. He was born in Jordans, Buckinghamshire, England to Quaker parents.
Apart from his regular New Model Army-albums, he has released two live albums with New Model Army-material together with various members of the band capturing their off-duty tours, namely Big Guitars in Little Europe together with Dave Blomberg in 1995 and Tales Of The Road together with Dean White and Michael Dean under the moniker of Justin Sullivan & Friends in 2004.
He is also an active member of Red Sky Coven, which he formed together with Brett Selby, Rev Hammer and Joolz Denby. With the latter he collaborated together with Robert Heaton on the album Hex putting music to Joolz' lyrics.
In 2003 he debuted as a solo artist with the album Navigating By The Stars. His songs "Tales of the Road", "White Lights", "Lullaby", "Navigating by The Stars" have been remixed by Christoph H. Mueller (Gotan Project) and added to the pre-release soundtrack of Exilée, a thriller by Nemo Sandman (with Joolz Denby), director of Wonderful Way to Go and other videos and stills for NMA. In 2007, Sullivan contributed vocals to the track 'Who Has Questions For The Dead?' on the album The Scene Is Dead by UK metal supergroup This Is Menace.
