Catchy indie-pop

Model Society has a distinctly British feel and are very reminiscent of Bloc Party but in the early days when they were good and before they went all electro and lost their edge. There is a decent amount of grit behind this release and you feel like they really mean it; not only does the single give you a cracking pop tune which worms its way easily into your memory but is full of real energy and passion which is something that's often sadly missing from generic run-of-the-mill pop tunes.

"Systematic" is a great single from the London four piece; it's punchy, melodic and catchy. The jangly indie-pop tune is memorable and gets you bobbing about uncontrollably in no time, which is a testament to the bands ability to pen a hook-laden tune. Put them on your 'ones to check out in 2012' list.
