The Australian band End of Fashion has more to say about comic books than their music in this article from Canada’s JAM! Music:

Hearing the conversation bounce from talk about the record, which was released in their home country last year, debuted at number one, went gold, took home a couple of ARIAs (the Aussie version of the Junos), and was nominated for an Australian MTV Award, singer/songwriter Justin Burford, seated at the next table, takes an opportunity to praise the city’s “cool comic book shops,” rages on about DC’s recent “Infinite Crisis” serial, then extols the long-running “Grendel.”

“Write down ‘Grendel,’” he says, turning away from his companions. “Make sure you check it out.”

Drummer Nick Jonsson looks on skeptically, but agrees that “Infinite Crisis” “is worth the hype.”

When I tell them that my superhero readings all mostly bear the stamp of ‘80s king, Frank Miller, he looks at me dismissively. “Miller’s fallen by the wayside. The whole Frank Miller/Jim Lee Batman series that’s out right now…I don’t know. I’m not sure I like it.”

“(Batman) Year 100 (written and drawn by cult icon Paul Pope) is pretty cool though.”
