ALL PROCEEDS TO BE DONATED TO THE NATIONAL INDEPENDENT VENUE ASSOCIATION (NIVA)


The performance finds the band in fine form as they breeze through the 1982 hit from their respective homes.“We were all at our homes in the U.K. apart from [guitarist] Daniel [Jakubovic] who was in Los Angeles,” Grey said of the video. “We decided to record ‘I Melt With You’ to put a smile on people’s faces. We are aware of how much the song is loved and just thought a lockdown version would make people happy in these crazy times.”

Modern English was supposed to spend the summer touring North America in celebration of their 40th anniversary, but that run was ultimately canceled because of COVID-19. Late last year, Modern English reissued two of their classic albums, 1981’s Mesh and Lace and 1982’s After the Snow, each with new artwork from original designer Vaughan Oliver.


Modern English will be touring 'After the Snow' in its entirety in 2021 and 2022.
