STARS of last year’s T in the Park and Indian Summer festivals Glasgow’s Make Model play Size @ The Old Red House, Workington, tomorrow.

Touted as the British answer to Canada’s Broken Social Scene and Arcade Fire , NME described them as ‘Like Pavement mainlining Cheap Trick, this six-piece are being babbled about by everyone at the moment’.

The first single to be lifted from their debut long-player, The LSB (released on April 14) was mixed by celebrated NYC producer Rich Costey this time around (who has worked with Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand, Muse, Rage Against The Machine and The Mars Volta among many others).

Charged with thumping, Flaming Lips-esque flair, and raised on a diet of limited edition LCD Soundsystem, Stereolab, and Kompakt records, The LSB is the most ludicrously catchy ‘art school’ indie to have come out of Glasgow since Franz Ferdinand.

Live, quite rightly, it’s a raucous, shout-along, crowd-rouser, expressing and releasing any number of social and/or personal frustrations.
