Menswear were an English indie rock band formed in 1994 in Camden, London.[1] The band released a number of singles and debut album Nuisance in 1996, on the short-lived London Records subsidiary label Laurel. A second album was recorded, but rejected by the label. It would only be released in Japan via another label, and the band split up in 1998.
In 2013, frontman Johnny Dean reformed the band with himself as the only original member involved proclaiming that "as long as the singer's singing, it doesn't really matter who's playing the instruments".[2]
