더 바인스"THE VINES"의 뒤를 잇는 호주 최고의 록 밴드 ‘엔드 오브 패션’의 충격적인 셀프 타이틀 데뷔 앨범!!엔드 오브 패션"END OF FASHION"은 오스트레일리아 록계의 독특한 면을 보여주는 가장 모범적인 예이다. 2003년에 결성되어 겨우 한 장의 정규 앨범 「END OF FASHION」을, 그것도 2005년에 발표했을 뿐인데, 아직도 팬 포럼은 북적거린다. 2008년이 되어서야 두 번째 앨범 발표를 앞두고 있지만 이들이 팬의 관심에서 벗어나지 않는 이유는 언제나 공연을 통해 팬들과 만나고 있기 때문이다.본 앨범은 오스트레일리아 싱글 차트 21위까지 진출한 싱글 'O YEAH'를 비롯해 'LOCK UP YOUR DAUGHTERS'"45위", 'SHE'S LOVE'"38위", 'THE GAME'"13위"까지 앨범을 발표한 2005년부터 2006년까지 싱글을 발표했다. 특히 'O YEAH'는 오스트레일리아 음반산업 협회에서 주관하는 시상식에서 ??BREAKTHROUGH ARTIST?? 부문을 수상하고 벤 퀸"BEN QUINN"이 감독한'O YEAH'의 뮤직 비디오는 ??BEST VIDEO?? 부문을 수상하며 밴드의 명성을 널리 알린 싱글이 되었다. 여기에 더해 여러 록 페스티벌에 참여해 밴드의 음악을 직접 선보이는 강행군을 병행했다. 2007년에 밴드는 가시적인 앨범이나 싱글을 발표하진 않았지만 팬 포럼이 여전히 북적일 정도로 꾸준한 라이브는 엔드 오브 패션의 강점이었다.국내에 처음으로 소개되는 본 앨범이 2005년에 발표된 작품이라고 해서 늦었다고 생각할 필요는 없다. 이들의 음악이 특정한 시대의 특정한 스타일을 따르고 있지 않기 때문이다. 더구나 이들은 앨범이 국내에 발매되는 것과 동시에 부산 록 페스티벌과 펜타포트 록 페스티벌 무대에 선다고 하니 참 적절한 타이밍으로 소개되는 셈이다. 영국과 미국의 록 밴드들이 쉴새없이 등장하고 성공하는 중이라 변방인 오스트레일리아의 록 밴드까지 관심을 갖기에는 시간이 없을지도 모른다. 하지만 이들이 매력적인 밴드인 것은 분명하다. 엘비스 코스텔로"ELVIS COSTELLO"와 카운팅 크로우스"COUNTING CROWS", 그리고 모디스트 마우스"MODEST MOUSE"와 작업한 바 있는 프로듀서 데니스 허링"DENNIS HERRING"의 탄탄한 프로듀스와 제프 버클리를 떠올리게 하는 프론트맨 저스틴의 보컬은 엔드 오브 패션의 음악의 매력 가운데 일부분이다. 그 나머지를 찾는 것은 듣는 이의 몫이다. .... ....
