Modern English are an English rock band best remembered for their songs „I Melt with You,“ „Hands Across the Sea,“ and „Ink and Paper“. The group disbanded for a period in 1991, but later recorded in 1995 with some new members.
Formed in Colchester, Essex, England, in 1979 by Robbie Grey (vocals), Gary McDowell (guitar, vocals), and Michael Conroy (bass, vocals), Modern English were originally known as The Lepers. The group expanded to „Modern English“ when Richard Brown (drums) and Stephen Walker (keyboards) were subsequently added to the line-up of the band ).
After a single on their own ‘Limp’ label in 1979, the band signed to 4AD the following year, with two further singles released, and a session for John Peel recorded before the band’s debut album, Mesh & Lace, in 1981, the band in the early days showing a strong Joy Division influence. A second Peel session was recorded in October 1981. The follow-up, After The Snow (April 1982), was more keyboard-oriented and was compared to Simple Minds and Duran Duran. It was also released in the United States by Sire Records the following year, where it reached number 70 on the Billboard chart, and sold over 500,000 copies. Grey said of the album, „We used to think ‘God, we’ll never make a pop record. We’re artists!’, but things don’t always turn out as you planned and when you actually create a pop record, it’s so much more of a thrill than anything else“. The second single from the album was also a hit in the US, the jangly „I Melt With You“ reaching number 78.

I saw Modern English play a venue under Koln Bhanhof in late 1982 whilst living in Germany. Robbie Grey was a real gent despite there almost being almost as many on stage as their was in the audience. Yet another deserving a bigger audience who didn't.

Swans on Glass should be compulsory listening for anyone on a post-punk trip. It's superb. Melt with You... not so good.

Modern English was just more than "I Melt With You". They had a lot of great songs that were tragically shrouded in obscurity. =( Swans on Glass and Someone's Calling are my favorites btw.

No, to be honest, I really don't like "I Melt With You". I'd always fast-forward my cassette whenever it played. Their less poppy and more post-punk tunes were way better, in my opinion.
