Dawn Till Dusk is the second B-Side of my debut single 'Been and Gone'. It's a smooth, acoustic based instrumental track that builds layers of guitars, violins and some background crowd noise.

Been and Gone

DAWN TILL DUSK (instrumental)

'Colour The Grey' is the first of 3 B-Sides off my debut single 'Been and Gone'. It's a chilled out, upbeat acoustic track with some lovely organ sounds. It has elements of Folk and reminds me of an early Oasis B-side. It's about someone's struggle with addiction and that there is always hope. Although not one of my grander songs, it's one of my personal favourites.

COLOUR THE GREY

This is the debut single from Indie Rock artist MODEL CITISIN. It's an exciting, melodic and energetic rock track that will, at times remind you of the 90s Britpop era! The perfect road trip anthem!

BEEN AND GONE - RADIO EDIT

'For You' is the B-Side to the single 'The Highlife' by MODEL CITISIN. Released on March 8th 2024. It's an upbeat Indie/Rock track with early Beatles influences as well as a Big Band and Swing feel.

For You

'The Highlife' is the second single by MODEL CITISIN released on March 8th 2024. It's fast, intense and melodic with a catchy horn riff.

The Highlife

'Who You Are' is the third single by Indie Rock 'n' Roll artist MODEL CITISIN. I actually woke up early one morning with the chorus in my head, so technically, I wrote part of this in my sleep. It reminded me a bit of 'She Moves In Her Own Way' by The Kooks and I've come to think of it as a sort of Indie nursery rhyme. Either way, it's pretty immediate so it won't take long to know if you love it or hate it. It also features one of my very talented guitar students, Blossom Harvey on backing vocals. Enjoy!

MODEL CITISIN - Who You Are

Wrote this for my daughter, Sophie, who is barely a month old. Managed to get down a quick demo recorded in the madness of being a new, first-time father. Will have the full, longer version out later this year. Enjoy!

To The Moon (Demo)

I went to put on the BBQ and it started pissing down so I decided to sit it out in the ol' music studio. I sat down with my guitar to have a strum and this just fell out of the sky. It's for my wife and it's one of my favourites. The main version will have drums etc so enjoy this chilled acoustic version in the mean time. 

Take Me Back (Acoustic Demo)

I've had this song for years and used to play it live with my old band but I've never released it on single so here finally it is! This is straight up British Indie Rock that you don't hear enough of these days. It's raw, unapologetic and has some epic guitar licks! So turn up the volume and enjoy!

Eyes On The Water

Music is power! 

Indie Rock 'n' Roll all the way! I'm proud to carry on my family's musical legacy with my brother Jamie on drums. 

My name is Nick Swettenham and I’ve been a musician all my life. Our late father Geoff and uncle Peter were part of the late 60s Rock ‘n’ Roll movement. Signed by The Beatles back in 1968 with their psychedelic band 'Grapefruit' (named by John Lennon) they’ve inspired me to get my music out to the world. 

Growing up as a teenager in the 90’s I was a huge fan of the Britpop era, as well as other great bands and artists 
 from around the world. Radiohead, Oasis, The Stereophonics, The Verve, Blur, REM, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Smiths, The Cure, The Stone Roses, Smashing Pumpkins, Fleetwood Mac, Neil Young, Travis, Coldplay, Counting Crows and so many more artists have been a huge influence in my sound.
