Models

Models were a short-lived 1977 punk band formed in Harrow, London, United Kingdom. Band members were Cliff Fox on vocals and guitar, Marco Pirroni on guitar, Mick Allen on bass and Terry Day on drums. This band are sometimes referred to as The Models, but the name on their only official single (and record) is Models.
Pirroni and Allen befriended while attending art school in Harrow. When punk emerged in 1976, the first formed Siouxsie and the Banshees, playing guitar, although for brief time. Shortly after that, he and Allen formed a band called The Beastly Cads, who later changed their name to Models. The band only released one single "Freeze" and recorded four songs in the Peel Sessions, before dissolving. Later, Pirroni and Allen formed Rema-Rema, a post-punk band.
Pirroni later reteamed up with Terry Day, who since then was named Terry Lee Miall, in Adam and the Ants, beginning to work alongside that band's singer and frontman, Adam Ant. Allen went on to other projects, the longest running being The Wolfgang Press on the influential British record label 4AD. After the demise of the band he paired up with Giuseppe De Bellis, to form the experiment project Geniuser.

Peel played the band's only single, 'Man Of the Year' in 1977 and being impressed by that, he had the group record a session for his radio programme that year. He also repeated the session in that year as well as on his 12 January 1982 show and revisited the group's 'Man Of The Year' in 2003 on his programme.
