They're Remodel & They're Looking Good

Remodel
Genre: Indie / Alternative / New Wave
From: London-based, Salopia-bred, London, United Kingdom


London nu wavers Remodel look great. In their suits and skinny ties they look like a jumble sale Jam or Franz Ferdinand at Oxfam. One day all bands will look like Remodel, and if they don't the bloody well should.

The band's sound is as sharp as the lapels on their suits and will appeal to fans of classic Brit pop.


On the band's new single 'La belle dame sans merci', released earlier this month on Sad Gnome Records, lead singer Leigh Swinn's sonorous crooning sounds like he's had a larynx transplant with Gene's Martin Rossiter as the donor, while behind him the band cook up a traditional English mixed grill of , The Who and The Jam. The b-side (isn't this really redundant in these digital days?) 'Us and Them' and 'Cognoscenti' , the track provided for download below, are altogether spikier, like refugees from the Roxy in 1978 shacking up with the The Kaiser Chiefs.

They're remodel and they're sounding good.
