Good Shoes

The Photos On My Wall

Label: Brille Records Release Date: 25/12/2006

18780
RobMacdonald by Rob Macdonald December 19th, 2006

There are thousands of bands like Good Shoes out there at any one time, churning out undistinguished, uninspiring and unoriginal spiky guitar fodder like this. No song, no melody, awful lyrics and annoying London accents: 'The Photos on My Wall' is just a tedious waste of everyone’s time.

They apparently have on board two producers who have worked with Franz Ferdinand and The Cardigans, presumably to add some credibility, but this doesn’t save Good Shoes from serving up a turkey for Christmas. The band members should be forced to eat their own produce.
