Model Worker (UK)

Model Worker is a two piece post-punk outfit hailing from Dunfermline. The band comprises Lewis Akers and Caitlin Petrie, who met in a past life and continued to write music together until deciding enough was enough and began recording under the guise of Model Worker - taken from the 1980 Magazine track of the same name.

Their music is mostly conceptual, offering a tongue-in-cheek take on themes such as culture, society, sex and other modern day issues. Their sound is heavily influenced by 70’s punk acts such as The Stranglers and Talking Heads, and punk-electronic pioneers such as LCD Soundsystem and Nine Inch Nails.
