The Shoes

Man, if this is PUNK.... I'm Joining Facebook.

About Me

4years, 23 bassists, 30 angry neighbours, 8 Late charges at blockbuster (I didn‘t even think you could still get those), no women, Loads of Slum Juice, even more XL Teas, and lots of thirsty crowds. The Shoes are Not a fast living, hard partying, rock band. The Shoes are 3-5 piece (depending on the season.) punk band from in and around Pickering, (That city Beside “Toronto”) Ontario Canada.
Formed in 2005 while playing some video game system, Left over members of In It For The Shoes decided their former band had progressed far beyond the immature sound of Durham region punk/metal/grind core. So they decided it would be in their best interest to express themselves by starting a band with a new name and a new genre. So long hours of debating and playing NHL 2002 took place, until a decision was made. Their new genre: Punk. Their new Name: The Shoes.
In 2007 they released there first CD, Putting our worst foot forward. It was packed with 34 tracks of punk rock gold.
So in conclusion, put on your seat belts and strap on your retard helmets, because The Shoes are back! OH NO!
Check us out live at The Kilt Pub.
Check out us practicing at Steves.
