Criticisms

End of Fashion have been criticised for copying the guitar riff from the Pixies' "Where Is My Mind?" for their song "O Yeah". Pixies are an American Alternative rock band formed in Boston Massachusetts in 1986 " O Yeah " is the debut single by End of Fashion, taken from their 2005 self-titled debut album End of Fashion.

In a review,

Jonathon Miller wrote

"End of Fashion are having no problem appealing to the 95% of people that haven't heard (and still remember) the Pixies' "Where Is My Mind?" and have never experienced a truly exciting live show, and if that's what the band is aiming for, then they are a complete success. "

In some of their later live shows, Justin Burford has taken to inserting lyrics from the Pixies song at the end of "O Yeah", as a tongue-in-cheek move against the critics and on occasion has played the entire "Where Is My Mind?" breaking straight into "O Yeah". Pixies are an American Alternative rock band formed in Boston Massachusetts in 1986 " O Yeah " is the debut single by End of Fashion, taken from their 2005 self-titled debut album End of Fashion. " O Yeah " is the debut single by End of Fashion, taken from their 2005 self-titled debut album End of Fashion.
