If you like your power pop poppy and your British accents accentuated, Tranzmitors member Jeffrey McCloy has a new project called Fashionism big on Hubba Bubba-sweet hooks and Ol' Blighty-styled singing.
The band's
debut 7-inch was just released through Hosehead Records, and features a trio of
tracks that could easily slide into a prime-era Stiff Records playlist. Opener
"Smash the State (With Your Face)" bounces along as a pint-swinging
anthem on growing older but feeling young forever. "Where Have All the
Rock 'n' Roll Girls" likewise has the crew trying to keep fresh-faced, while
"Breaking Out" is a quick blip blending mod revival vivaciousness
with vintage punk in the Buzzcocks vein.
"Fashionism
is basically the bubblegum glam of the early '70s played by people who like
late '70s U.K. punk so much that it has poisoned everything we do in the best
possible way," guitarist J.R. explained of Fashionism's sound in a
statement.
