"Remodel are a London based band dressed in suits and in the case of the lead singer Leigh a bowler hat. The drums were loud but not too overbearing so that vocals could be heard. I was reminded of north eastern bands such as Maximo Park and The Futureheads with a slightly slower tempo. They saved their best song for last with British Racing Green."  - Dom Chalk "The Music Guru" - www.studentguru.co.uk

"...we love Remodel so much that even if we saw them carrying suitcases, puckering up and deferring to The Man, we'd (try and) resist screaming "Bellboy!" at them" - Steve Horry (586)

"Rocking a Kaiser Chiefs frontage thru Joy Division, Wire and indeedy Blur!" - Bugbear Promotions. "here you'll find the cut 'n' thrust powerised post punk pop of Remodel who do a neat like in C-81 stylising on 'British racing green' though in our opinion check out the superior Stranglers like 'formula.'" - The Sunday Experience

British Racing Green / That Obscure Subject Called Desire:

They've come a long way since I first saw them many moons ago. London based Remodels debut single was recently released on Sad Gnome Records. It features a tune that is almost their signature tune 'British Racing Green' and 'That Obscure Subject Called Desire'. The first track opens up with a deep baseline that slowly progresses with drum and guitar. It's a delightfully punchy sound that is complimented by crisp clear vocals (provided by Leigh Swinn). The level of the vocal in this number would be best compared to The Rakes. With catchy lyrics discussing the delights of getting away from it all in a British Racing Green car! It then builds up to a frantic finish with a frenetic drumbeat and racing guitars. A fine example of Indie music on offer by Remodel. The second A-side shows the diversity of the band with a different sound that reminds me more of northeastern bands. This however does not mean it differs in the punchy sound that 'British Racing Green' does. With slick lyrics and a catchy guitar riff its one that's been on my favourite play list recently. I was really impressed by this and despite receiving the vinyl free I popped on to Itunes and purchased the mp3's of the songs. Well worth a listen (check out their myspace) and bob on to itunes to listen to and perhaps purchase a fine piece of Indie pop. Dom Chalk

 I typically don't fall for the double A-sided single concept - singles are naturally meant to have an A-side and a b-side (and whether the band contributes a solid song or a throwaway on the b-side is up to them). This record is one of many double A-sided singles I've seen, but they actually provided an alternate sleeve design for each side, so I guess that were it not for the A/AA markings on the record's label, either side is worthy to be considered the lead track. The music itself is mod-inspired pop in the vein of Sportique and the Higher Elevations, with a pair of energetic and catchy songs. I don't know much else about this London band - most importantly, how I can hear more from them), but I'd certainly love to! http://www.indiepages.com/reviews/index.html

Formula / Cognoscenti

 Remodel are a Shropshire born band who are now residing in London and from listening to thiks double a-side offering they have every chance of making it in the big smoke and beyond.
Both Formula and Cognoscenti are written in the best traditions of British punk, vitriolic, pacey and with a real edge to them, musically it’s probably nearer to new-wave than punk and the lead singer (Leigh Swinn) has a touch of the Joe Strummer in his vocals, which is no bad thing.
It’s a promising release from a band that are well worth keeping an eye out for, especially if they are playing live as I imagine they put on a good show. http://www.thebeatsurrender.co.uk/daily/recordbox/formula-cognoscenti-remodel/

Remodel are a band that I had not, until the CD landed on my doorstep that is, come across and are a four piece, London based post-punk pop outfit. They have a excellent energetic style that gives there sound that little something to stand out above the others!
Formula is a fast paced, energetic number that has been masterfully put together with some retro styling’s, it has hints of 60’s pop in there too which gives it a very unique sound. This is certainly a track that you’d be happy to hear come on in a club as it would get everyone going!
Cognoscenti is another faced paced number, this track displays a urgency to their music along with some guitar playing that if it wasn’t for the rest of the band playing a singing you would swear it was a guitar solo. When you listen to this track you can hear the urgency in the lyrics and playing makes a fuller and more wholesome sound that relates back to there punk rock routes.
A Fabulous display of musical talent, releasing more of this these guys are sure to make a splash in the musical pond!
