Lost Songs was released in 2002 and is a compilation album of British rock band New Model Army of bonus, rare and previously unreleased tracks compiled by Justin Sullivan and Michael Dean. The album covers the period from The Love of Hopeless Causes (1993) to this release.
"51st State" is a single by New Model Army, which appeared on their 1986 album The Ghost of Cain. The lyrics to the song were believed to be behind a ban by the American Musician's Union on the band, which prevented them touring the Ghost of Cain album in the United States.
New Model Army are an English rock band formed in Bradford, West Yorkshire, in 1980 by lead singer, guitarist and main composer Justin Sullivan, bassist Stuart Morrow and drummer Phil Tompkins. Sullivan has been the only continuous member of the band, which has seen numerous line-up changes in its four-decade history. Their music draws on influences across the musical spectrum, from punk and folk to soul, metal and classical. Sullivan's lyrics, which range from directly political through to spiritual and personal, have always been considered as a key part of the band's appeal. By the time they began making their first records in 1983, Robert Heaton, a former drum technician for Hawkwind, had replaced Tompkins.
