End of Fashion

Located in Perth, Traditional western Australia, vocalist Justin Burford and guitarist Rodney Aravena have been playing together within the Sleepy Jackson before making a decision to give up the group to go after songs they’d created outside the group. Consequently, they installed with drummer Mike Hobbs and bassist Hugh Jennings to start out the rock and roll quartet End of Style. Nick Jonsson and Tom Ruler later changed Hobbs and Jennings, respectively. Two EPs, Rough Diamond jewelry and Too Cautious, made an appearance in 2004. Documented in early 2005 with Dennis Herring (Modest Mouse, Elvis Costello), their infectious self-titled debut was spearheaded with the one “O Yeah,” created in one sitting down by Burford on the wager that he couldn’t pencil a melody that quickly. The record was released in August 2005 and had opted precious metal in Australia and New Zealand before getting selected by EMI/Capitol for world-wide distribution. It had been released stateside in-may 2006. End of Style played a slot machine at 2006’s South by Southwest festival and spent the others of March on the U.S. tour with Metric.
