Question: Which band was formed first, New Model Army or the Ramones?
Context: 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 37-year 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. The Ramones were an American punk rock band that formed in the New York City neighborhood of Forest Hills, Queens, in 1974.  They are often cited as the first band to define the punk rock sound.  Despite achieving only limited commercial success, the band was a major influence on the 1970s punk movement in both the United States and United Kingdom. The Grenadier Guards (GREN GDS) is an infantry regiment of the British Army.  It is the most senior regiment of the Guards Division and, as such, is the most senior regiment of infantry.  It is not, however, the most senior regiment of the Army, this position being attributed to The Life Guards.  Although The Coldstream Guards were formed before The Grenadier Guards, the regiment is ranked "after" the Grenadiers in seniority as, having been a regiment of the New Model Army, the Coldstream served the Crown for four fewer years than the Grenadiers (the Grenadiers having formed as a Royalist regiment in exile in 1656 and the Coldstream having sworn allegiance to the Crown upon the Restoration in 1660). The English Army existed while England was an independent state and was at war with other states, but it was not until the Interregnum and the New Model Army (raised by Parliament to defeat the Royalists in the English Civil War) that England acquired a peacetime professional standing army.  At the restoration of the monarchy, Charles II kept a small standing army, formed from elements of the Royalist army in exile and elements of the New Model Army, from which the most senior regular regiments of today's British Army can trace their antecedence.  Likewise, Royal Marines can trace their origins back to the formation of the English Army's "Duke of York and Albany's maritime regiment of Foot" at the grounds of the Honourable Artillery Company on 28 October 1664. Carnival was released in 2005 and is the ninth studio album by British rock band, New Model Army.  The album was co-produced by Chris Tsangarides and New Model Army. The Battle of Naseby was a decisive engagement of the English Civil War, fought on 14 June 1645 between the main Royalist army of King Charles I and the Parliamentarian New Model Army, commanded by Sir Thomas Fairfax and Oliver Cromwell.  It was fought near the village of Naseby in Northamptonshire.  After a disappointing performance by the Parliamentarian army at the Second Battle of Newbury at the tail end of the 1644 campaign season that failed to inflict a decisive defeat on the Royalists, Oliver Cromwell worked to push the Self-denying Ordinance through Parliament, intent on re-forming Parliament's forces into a more effective, centralised force.  This political campaign was successful, forming the New Model Army. Pride’s Purge was an event that took place in December 1648, during the Second English Civil War, when troops of the New Model Army under the command of Colonel Thomas Pride forcibly removed from the Long Parliament all those who were not supporters of the Grandees in the New Model Army and the Independents.  Some have called it a "coup d'état". New Model Army 3 x CD is a box set collection of the New Model Army studio albums The Ghost Of Cain (1986) and Thunder & Consolation (1989) and the live-album Raw Melody Men (1991).  It was released in September 2000 on EMI. All of This - The "Live" Rarities is a live compilation album by British rock band New Model Army released in 1999 by EMI Records.  According to the album's cover these tracks are a compilation of New Model Army's finest and rarest live b-sides and extra tracks. Thunder and Consolation was released in 1989 and is the fourth studio album by British rock band New Model Army.  The album stands as a landmark in the New Model Army catalogue, being their most successful album to date and reaching No. 20 in the UK Albums Chart.  It also saw the band gaining new musical grounds as they adopted a more folky sound with the assistance of violinist Ed Alleyne-Johnson.  It was produced by Tom Dowd and the band.
