The Electric Shoes

The Electric Shoes have just recently release their debut EP "Off To Save The World" and I would like to take a few moments to give my personal feelings about said EP.

Off To Save The World is a six song release that covers, in my opinion, a multitude of genres and styles which really show off the talent and potential of the band.  When I say the guys have a multitude of genres I mean some songs have 8-bit electro rifts while others have very country inspired string parts.  There is a strong PopRock/Punk tone to all the vocals which allow them to flow even when the music may vary track to track.

As you listen to the EP the simple approach to each of the songs is more or less to set up the vocals on their much deserved pedestal. The singer has an amazing amount of control, emotion and presence that can not be faked through autotune and melodyne. This gives the listener a better chance to really connect with each and every song, which to be honest is the driving factor in whether or not a song becomes a hit.  The band is relatively knew and with the right people behind them have more than enough staying power.  It will be interesting to see where the next 6-12 months take these guys and whether they will work hard to get heard or simply get lost in the sea of competition that seems to plagues every "up and comer" these days.

If you are interested in picking up the EP you can do so RIGHT HERE!

Take my advice and jump on this band before the bandwagon fills up!
