Great to find The Shoes on here. Present Tense hooked me and their first album, Black Vinyl Shoes, recorded in a living room, was light years before bands doing it themselves. I've still got all their stuff on vinyl. You've got great taste in power pop!
I'd completely forgot about this band. Still sounds good.

Wow, I'm surprised I've never heard this one. Great stuff, especially the chorus, which sounds like The Byrds.
