Think Before You Speak

Good Shoes

Fourteen tracks of jittery, angular indie rock defined by brittle guitars and sharp suburban observations. A restless snapshot of mid-2000s South London.

March 26, 2007 · Brille Records

Find on Amazon

A nervous, high-energy collection of suburban vignettes that feels both anxious and deeply affectionate.

Moments Worth Listening For
The frantic, staccato guitar interplay opening 'Nazanin' that sets the album's breathless pace.
The specific lyrical nod to the Northern Line in 'Morden' that grounds the record in a very real sense of place.
The sudden shift from jittery energy to the more melodic, yearning chorus of 'The Photos on My Wall'.
