Title: End of Fashion

End of Fashion

Catchy guitar hooks and radio friendly lyrics make this band’s music a must have on every bad day. Beginning with “She’s Love” – inspired by singer, Justin Buford’s girlfriend, Katy Steele (singer of Perth band, Little Birdy) is a great choice for a lead off track. Upbeat and heartfelt, it’s a song for relationships of any kind; whether it’s someone you’re dating or your best friend. “O Yeah” follows this upbeat track, and it seems like someone left the recorder going when the band was jamming one day. According to various websites about the band, this song was the result of a bet made between Justin and a fellow musician that he couldn’t write a song in sixty minutes or so. Obviously it isn’t their most well crafted work, but it’s still incredibly fun and contributes to the band’s personality on this debut record. Even when the band dips into punk inspired melodies for “the Game” – the fun loving personality still shines through as the guitar and lyrics never get too heavy.

Slowing the tempo down is “Anymore” a song about a breakup that is reminiscent of 90s rock from American artists like Vertical Horizon, Aerosmith and maybe a touch of Bon Jovi. “Lock Up Your Daughters” is quite possibly the most cheerful rock song I’ve heard. Lyrically humorous, melodically addicting and vocally one of the best songs found on this CD, it’s impossible to stay in a bad mood while listening to this track. “Rough Diamonds” follows, and this is definitely their strongest song lyrically, and also the only song that rivals and maybe surpasses the vocals on “Lock Up Your Daughters”. From start to finish, End of Fashion creates an intimate and (literally) seamless listening experience that allows the listener to discover who these guys are from song to song. As well as creating well crafted rock songs and ballads, the guys of End of Fashion have also created a medium to increase anticipation for their next record.
