After wrapping up a U.S. run celebrating the 40th anniversary of the band’s 1982 breakthrough LP After the Snow, and on the heels of its recently released Live From Indigo at the O2 album, British pop icons Modern English will make their network television debut tonight, Tuesday, October 4, on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and perform on TODAY With Hoda & Jenna tomorrow morning, Wednesday, October 5, during the fourth hour of NBC's TODAY at 10:00 a.m. in all time zones.

Simply put, "I Melt With You" by Modern English is one of the most iconic songs of the New Wave era. It garnered heavy rotation on the then-thriving Modern Rock radio format, MTV and dance clubs across the globe, and was prominently featured in the classic 1983 film Valley Girl starring a young Nicolas Cage. The song has been one of the most played songs on U.S. radio with well over 7+ million plays on Top 40, AC, Hot AC, Modern Rock and Classic Rock radio, and was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2020 BMI Awards.  On 1982's After the Snow — produced by the acclaimed Hugh Jones whose credits include albums by Echo and the Bunnymen, Simple Minds, The Damned and many more — the band's sound evolved from the dark, moody and challenging post-punk found on its debut, Mesh & Lace, to a more commercial and radio-friendly mix of synthesizers, guitars, catchy drumbeats and singer Robbie Grey's unmistakable vocals. As the title suggests, the icy sound featured on Mesh & Lace melted away on After the Snow to reveal more concise and potent songs, highlighted by "I Melt With You” which brought the band up from the underground to the mainstream. After the Snow was released on the legendary 4AD Records in the UK and licensed to Sire Records in the U.S. Stay tuned for more information on Modern English’s forthcoming Mario McNulty (David Bowie, Lou Reed, Pirnce)-produced album due out next year.
