A meteoric dance hall hit. Fashion Emergency allows disco and garage punk to meet squarely in the middle and never let's go for a second.
Increasingly, our reliance on fashion and cheap manufacturing contributes to a potentially hostile, dystopian future. Fashion Emergency transports the listener into an intimate conversation between a stylist, photographer and model on location in a fashion shoot in your hometown now.

Clip the waist
Puff the sleeves
Steam the trousers
Half tuck
Smooth the hair
Brush the eyebrows
Touch up the lips
Pair with the boots
Coat open

Pair with the tank

Hand in pocket

One of the greatest Australian albums in a generation. Littered with Pearls and Killer Riffs. Do not do yourself the disservice of missing out on immersing yourself in this modern masterpiece. 5 stars. All day, any day. Texas Merkin (Merk)

Hard to pick a favourite on this pearler of an album. It sounds like there's 3 or 4 different singers on this. Great stories, Great songs, Great band! Liam Melville
