New Music From Good Shoes
Good Shoes deliver 'Under Control.'
You may find London/Morden based band Good Shoes playing at your nearest Bloc Party later this year. See what I did there? Making a snotty comparison of a lesser band with a so-called greater band? Clever I know; that's what they pay us for. Smarmy criticism aside, it’s been hard in the past five years (post-Libertines) to actually tell the difference between many British indie bands. Not that Good Shoes is a throw-away in this sense, but I'm sensing Good Shoes latest album, No Hope, No Future, could very well be the last gasp in what was the second coming of Brit pop.
Think Before You Speak was a debut album brimming with simple yet quirky lo-fi garage pop. It had a desperate but sunny disposition, whereas No Hope, No Future exudes just what it claims. The precision playing, the weaving guitar crunch and lead singer Rhys Jones’ charming pub drawl is still there - but a newfound seriousness has surfaced. Listen to “Under Control” below.
