"Fussy" is the first single by Australian pop rock band End of Fashion, from their second album, Book of Lies. It was released on 30 August 2008 on EMI Music.[1]

It was the band's first release in over two years. Justin Burford describes "Fussy" as "the struggle between the light and dark sides of human personality".[2] The Vine Magazine described it as "sultry backing vocals, Spanish trumpet and rhythmic acoustic guitar, 'Fussy’ is the perfect way to reintroduce End Of Fashion into the musical fray".[3] Dwarf Magazine described it as "starting with much gusto and energy, the drum beat almost like riding a horse with the horns adding a bit of excitement during the journey".[4]

Despite being added to radio station playlists around Australia within weeks of its release[2] the single peaked at #47 on the Australian Singles charts.[5] Burford later attributed this to the fact that national youth broadcaster, Triple J, refused to play the song on-air. "Our lead single, "Fussy" was even openly derided on air by Richard Kingsmill as ‘just another pop release’. Apparently this was before pop was declared no longer a dirty word on the j’s. This, I might add was the ONLY time that song was ever played on this station." - Justin Burford[6]
