Tracing Modern English and their music career

Modern English was formed as a collaboration between Robbie Grey, Gary McDowell, Michael Conroy and was initially called The Lepers. The subsequent addition of Richard Brown and Stephen Walker, and the resulting evolution of their music led to the band adopting its current name.

The band released their debut studio album, Mesh & Lace, on April 10, 1981. The album peaked at number 5 on the UK Indie Album chart and was not well received by critics.

Following the modest success of their debut album, Modern English released their second studio album, After the Snow, on May 7, 1982. The album remains the band's most successful album, peaking at number 13 on the UK Indie album chart, as well as at number 70 on the Billboard 200 album chart and at number 84 on the Canadian album chart. The album was also certified as Gold in sales by the RIAA.

The band had their next chart success with their fifth studio album, Pillow Lips, which was released in May 1990. The album peaked at number 134 on the Billboard 200 album chart.
