Good Shoes
Smalltown Girl

unsigned/Young and Lost Club

WE SAY

There's a lot to like about south London's Good Shoes. They look cool, they're young, they're new, and you can hear it in their sound, which is fresh and very distinctive. But the biggest thing of all to like about them is this song, which is their debut single - a one-off for the buzzing Young and Lost Club label. Really clever and hooky. Zane Lowe is already on board, the right kind of labels are chasing, and the buzz looks set to grow and grow.
