This Years Model

About Me



From Pop'n'Cherries: "With its brilliant songwriting, its multifacial powerpop and its Higher Elevations / Jesterbells-like jangly bits, This Year’s Model’s 'The Clock strikes ten' is, after each listening, slowly growing on us like a breathtaking sharp-penned crime novel."

From Guitars Galore: "The 4 tracks on this EP (Greetings from This Year's Model) sound absolutely convincing! The guitars jingle and jangle, if they not just play strong chords. The "harmony singing" is wonderful, but never too sweet or exaggeratedly importunate. Simply beautiful! The songs of course are doing the rest. Hard to believe that this band is not resounded throughout the land, yet! That it is not running on all broadcasting radio stations on heavy rotation. No comparisons this time. This Year's Model are simply fantastic!"

Working class beer-belly gently ridiculed

Good time spent in Hamburg and Berlin, meeting some friend that I see way too seldom. Sitting round at the Royal in Friedrichshain after soundcheck, just chatting, he points out, very politely, that I...
