Heroes Of Switzerland
Veering between the layered sounds of prime-era shoegazing with a harder more muscular dynamic, Heroes of Switzerland mix genres to create their own sound with soul and sensitivity, constantly searching for the moment when the sheer intensity and beauty of the sound replaces reality.

Model Morning play dark euphoric soundscapes blending elements of early 90s Shoegaze into three and a half-minute pop songs. They formed in early 2004 by ECHOBOY member Chris Moore. After a year of touring he decided that he wanted to form his own band and Model Morning was the outcome. Hiding themselves away from their surroundings they concentrated on forging a sound that would be unique and instantly recognized as MODEL MORNING. Out of the early sessions was a six track demo entitled 'Your Worst Enemy', later to be described as a debut that, "is without doubt one of the best debuts of the year. A masterpiece."

When the demo fell onto the desk of Robin Allport at CLUB AC30, a renowned shoegaze label whose track record resembles the early days of Creation Records, they called the band and immediately offered to release the EP in its entirety, no questions asked. It was destined that MODEL MORNING would play their third gig in front of the man who was an almost sole inspiration for the bands birth when Creation Records founder and former Oasis manager ALAN MCGEE heard the demo and invited them to play at his Death Disco night in London. This was the beginning of the immediate impact of Your Worst Enemy would have  "With big-ups from the likes of Creation Records head honcho Alan McGee, it surely can't be long before Model Morning fulfil their destiny and start headlining some seriously huge festivals. Get there first, and don't forget to tell your friends"-Subba Cultcha - 2008 will see MODEL MORNING release a 3-track single consisting of their latest recordings, engineered and produced by Dan Knowles of AMUSEMENT PARKS ON FIRE. A 7" release is to follow of a remix of 'Without You I'm Lost' by ULRICH SCHNAUSS. MODEL MORNING will be playing throughout the UK during 2008.
