About Me

Lemon Lime Tennis Shoes is a six piece punk/ska band based out of Warwick, RI. The group was formed in 2003 and only one rule was made... To have fun. Their sound had been said to contain three main ingredients; Roots Reggae, catchy Punk Rock, and a heavy dose of soulful Ska. Remaining busy for the past four years writing and touring New England, Lemon Lime Tennis Shoes proves itself worthy with the debut release of "Take It or Leave It," which is a force to be wreckoned with. Their impact on the local RI ska scene is apparent, and there is still more to come from them very soon. Right off the heels of winning an all expenses-paid record deal from FYE/White Noise Records in the fall of '07, LLTS will be releasing a 12-song record that will be sold in FYE stores all over New England. Having faced many obstacles and gaining support from RI national-bookers, LLTS has come a long way, and the best is yet to come
LLTS has shared the stage with acts such as; Big D & the Kids Table, Westbound Train, The Slackers, Whole Wheat Bread, The Queers, Darkbuster, Against All Authority, The Agents, Patent Pending, Far From Finished, Daly's Gone Wrong, Monty Are I, The Loved Ones, Zolof the Rock & Roll Destroyer, Cryptorchid Chipmunk, Detonate, M-80, Bad Larry, The Know How, Senior*Discount, The Emotron, Big World, The Castronauts, The Flaming Tsunamis, The Specs, Plan 17, Dead Ellington, Bi-Anal Ham Sandwich, In The Face, Skamasutra, Axis of Evil and The Delegates.
"Take it or Leave it" now available on Itunes!
"Take it or Leave it" now available on Interpunk!
"Take it or Leave it" now available on CD Baby!
