Thanks to Maximum Rock N' Roll for bringing this band to my attention. I usually look at the online music review "magazine" once or twice a month. I don't share their tastes on 80% of the reviews - I'm not a big hardcore guy, but I do love me some melodic punk, power pop, or post-punk, which they will review from time to time.
Fashion Bathers are a Manitoba, Canada based band. But as one of the MRNR reviews says, this sounds more like a cross of Tony Molina and Aussie punk. I actually think it sounds like Tony Molina crossed with The Ramones. Tony Molina for the short song bursts of melody, and Ramones for type of melody.
This is released by Knuckles on Stun, a Nashville based cassette label (the label also released another cassette by the band, "III"). With a name like that you pretty much know what you're getting. Maximum Rock N' Roll covers a lot of their releases.
