Fashion Week Posts Bizarre Music Video
New York City's grimy noise/grunge metal trio Fashion Week just issued an ultra gnarly video for "Heroin Chic," culled from the "Prêt-à-Porter" debut LP. Check it out below.
Without blowing the lunatic plot of the video, it's safe to say that this violent visual depiction of Fashion Week's "Heroin Chic" deploys the track in a more ruthless way than one may envision when simply hearing the song. For a line of starlets-to-be, their most important tryout ever quickly becomes the end of the line, very literally, in the video, which was created in Russia, written and directed by Dmitry (Deems) Kopytin with director of photography Alexey Khruslov, and produced by Marina Shponko.

Fashion Week Releasing New LP
French noise rock specialists Solar Flare Records today confirmed the impending Winter release of the new LP from long-running NYC-based power trio, Fashion Week. Entitled "Prêt-à-Porter," the album will be unveiled on digital and vinyl formats this coming February 23rd, 2015.
Fashion Week was formed by singer/guitarist Joshua Lozano and bassist Oscar Rodriguez in Brooklyn, New York in 1987, and over the years went through a succession of drummers, the longest-lasting being Carl Eklof, who joined the band in 1990, after the disbanding of DC hardcore icons Shout.
In the late '80s, Fashion Week established itself as part of the New York noise scene, releasing its first album, "Clorox," through the independent record label Under Pop in 1989. The band eventually came to develop a sound that relied on dynamic contrasts, often between pummeling verses and loud, catchy choruses. After signing to major label David Muffin Records, Fashion Week found unexpected success with "Smells Like Old Spice," the first single from the band's second album "Fuhgeddaboudit", released in 1991. The band's third studio album, "In Uterus," was released in 1993, and challenged the group's audience, featuring an abrasive, less-mainstream sound.
Fashion Week's brief run ended following the death of Josh Lozano in 1994, but various posthumous releases have been issued since, overseen by Rodriguez, Eklof, and Lozano's widow, Catherine Lust.
Fashion Week is Josh Lozano (Jarboe, Cobalt, Family), Carl Eklof (Victory at Sea, Lidia Stone, Inswarm) and Oscar Albis Rodriguez (A Great Big World, No Way, Nakatomi Plaza). The "Prêt-à-Porter" track listing is as follows:
1. Fendi Bender
2. Chorusace
3. Meek Is Miznabble
4. Summer Line
5. Fur Free Friday
6. Klosstrophobia
7. "FASHION"=~S/(\$)/COLLAPSE/GSO;
