"Fashionably Late" was released only on the French New Rose label . The quintet has unearthed two buried treasures of Whashington D.C. punks, the Gizmos' "The Mean Screen" and Razz's "You Can Run" , written by Michael Reidy and the Tommy Keene. "Fashionably Late" rounded off some of the rougher edges of the group's sound, but it still featured some killer tracks. "Dropping Off To Sleep" quickly became a live staple. Drummer Dan Palenski noted that "Noone wrote this, I think, about Marshall's ability to sleep anywhere at any time." "Sleepless Nights" written by bassist J. Chumbris was a full tilt rocker that showed the variety that the band members brought to the songwriting table. But the biggest surprise was Kim Kane's "Your Autumn Eyes". A gorgeous ballad that sounds like a long-lost Smiths song, this effort elevates the record to a higher level. One listen and you'll be hooked..." S. Koepenick
