I've never blogged about these guys, so consider this what would have been a normal post, only there's a surprise at the end! End Of Fashion are some rockers of the typical swank residing in good ol' Australia. You may have caught them at SXSW 2004 (or maybe not, pick your poison). Their self titled debut was released in 2005 but will see release in the states in the coming weeks. If you're a fan of The Pixies, then I'm sure you'll either love the band for completely ripping off "Where Is My Mind?" or you'll hate them for the same reason. Regardless, it seems, the band doesn't care. They're sole interest, according to lead singer, is "[to] want to break down the walls - within that context, that image, we can do anything we want no matter whether it’s super cheesy or punk, I want to kill fashion, see the end of it.” Not exactly the noblest of causes, but who am I to judge?
[MP3] End Of Fashion - O Yeah
[MP3] End Of Fashion - Love Comes In
Up for grabs in this contest is a copy of their debut album. In the spirit of the band's name and mission, if you want to enter, link [in the comments] to a picture of a person in attire that would suggest him/her to also be supporting the same "End Of Fashion" cause...i.e., a picture of someone with the most dreadfully hilarious fashion sense. The worst/funniest picture wins. Again, just link to the photo, and remember to leave your email address with your entry!
Now what about those other contests? I'm happy to report the winners of both the Submarines and La Rocca contests as follows:
For an advanced copy of The Submarines' album Declare A New State!, we actually had two winners:
[MP3] PAS/CAL - The Bronzed Beach Boys (winner: Christian)
[MP3] DeVotchKa - How It Ends (winner: Aaron)
For his deliciously hilarious and pertinent word "phoner," described as "an auditory boner," Ian has won the signed copy of La Rocca's Sing Song Sung EP.
Thanks for playing everyone! If you didn't win, don't pass up the chance to win this one or future contests...we'll have plenty over the summer, that's a guarantee!

no love australiandave. EoF are great fun, especially live. the album is overproduced, i won't deny, you can tell if you listen to the original versions of rough diamonds and too careful. see them live, and the energy and fun comes through much more clearly. they're not radiohead for god's sake, they just like to go nuts onstage and they write a damn catchy tune. justin wrote O yeah in a day on a dare, and you can't hear that song and be in a bad mood.
Im with you australiadave. This band was good for about 3 and half minutes. OH! What was I thinking. I recommend you gloss over this one america (but the dudes voice is a cracker i guess?)
