AllMusic[3]

End of Fashion is the debut album by Australian band End of Fashion. It was released in Australia on 15 August 2005, reaching number 3 in the Australian ARIA Albums Chart,[4] and was certified gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association in 2006.[5] It features the single "O Yeah", which reached number 21 on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart.[4]

It also features re-recorded versions of previously released songs, "Rough Diamonds" and "She's Love" from the Rough Diamonds EP, and "Too Careful" and "Love Comes In" from the Too Careful EP.

Additional musicians on the album include Hugh Jennings (a former bassist for End of Fashion), Katy Steele of Little Birdy, and producer Dennis Herring.

Criticism

End of Fashion have been criticised for their uncredited copying of the guitar riff from the Pixies song "Where Is My Mind?" for their song "O Yeah". Rockus Online Magazine reviewer Jonathon Miller called the song "disturbingly Pixies-ish" and went on to write:

"End of Fashion are having no problem appealing to the 95% of people that haven't heard (and still remember) the Pixies' "Where Is My Mind?" and have never experienced a truly exciting live show, and if that's what the band is aiming for, then they are a complete success."[6]
