Remodel

Remodel are a guitar band, this is obvious by virtue of the fact they have a guitar player. They are also a pop band, but pop in the sense of bands like the Who, The Smiths and Blur. Like all classic British pop bands they are a fourpiece. Frontman Mr Leigh Swinn is quite tall and dark, the sort people see in crystal balls. Always smartly attired and often caustic with his words. Guitarist Mr Mark Heffernan is small and angry. He likes noise and cricket. He is also fond of tea.
