Dead Man’s Shoes

About Me

'Dead Man’s Shoes have a great deal to offer us; and I’m talking here something of feisty nature. They knock-out wired indie-rock which combines the bouncy energy of those daft punks, Sham 69; the tautness of The Jam; and the social commentary of The Specials. And on songs such as Linthorpe Road the band are not afraid to take their collective foot off the pedal a bit and let their evident song-writing skills come to the fore.' THE CRACK MAGAZINE

'Indie blend where the Jam hits the Clash ...bit of Dreadzone infusions in places with stand up lyrics if you dont understand them, you lived with no pain. Understand it and relate...you have our sympathies...Great stuff!' NE-SCENE.CO.UK

'What Dead Man's Shoes create is an epic an emotive rock sound reminiscent of Northern Uproar. 'Crashing Down' is an anthemic track that even has orchestral drums and strings to add more show to the already huge song writing style.' THE MAG
