Model Citizens has been played on NTS shows including Yesterday's News, with Shift The Blame first played on 5 December 2018.

The Model Citizens were a short lived poppy new wave band from New York City. They released one EP, produced by John Cale circa 1978, before splitting off to form two other bands: Polyrock and The Dance.

The sound had some similarity to both of those bands. A couple of the songs have shown up on some compilations.
