Stereo Models

They are best known for the track "Move Fast-Stay Ahead", on the Bristol compilation album, Avon Calling, released by Heartbeat Records in 1979.

Rick Joseph of NME writing at the time of the original release said, 'The joys of profligate living are eulogised in "Move Fast, Stay Ahead", a reckless, infectious punkabilly chorus from Stereo Models'.

[1] The track was written by Russ Thomas, who provided vocals and played guitar, and was recorded at Horizon Studios, Coventry.

The drummer was Mark Hatwood, formally of Coventry band Squad, which included Terry Hall in their line-up.

In 2012, Cherry Red released a download only, album called "Keep on Runnin' - an Alternative Soundtrack to the London Games" that included the Stereo Models "Move Fast, Stay Ahead".
