Fashionista

Shaped amidst the tourist traps, nude beach locations, and raging university students of Ft. Lauderdale, FL, Fashionista’s anglophiles evoke the rainier audio of Brit-pop from Blur to Pulp. Bandmembers Anthony Style (vocals, electric guitar), Howard Melnick (electric guitar), Jarrod Rose (bass, vocals), George Borghi (Juno 6), and Asif Ali (drums) had been brought together with a shared like of Bowie, glam rock and roll, and shoegazers like Spacemen 3 and My Bloody Valentine. The band’s closest U.S. peers rest in the united states in the Pacific Northwest’s Aveo. Very much like Aveo, Fashionista uses resonant vocals and a electric guitar jangle to pay out tribute towards the Smiths. Though they occasionally use Kevin Shields-type electric guitar wall space, the band’s nearest abroad kin will be the glammed-up Suede and relatively somber Gene. Actually, Fashionista’s debut EP Neptune, Ruler of the ocean, released on Claire Information in 2001, seems possib U.K. Smiths fans — guitarists going for a cue from your Johnny Marr audio and vocalists infatuated using the brilliant Morrissey.
