 SLICK
SHOES (Tooth
and Nail)
I don’t know, but this seems like a case of
being overly image conscious.
When these guys released “Rusty”, ’97-ish, they looked the
part of suburban punks, sounded killer, and were not full of fluff songs
about missing some girl.
However, now they have a self titled disk, the lead singer grew his
hair out, like the guy from Creed, their new video looks all tormented and
has shots of the band playing in a “rain storm”, just like Creed.
The vocals even lost the sarcastic edge they once had;
I guess that sells, it’s pop, it’s tight, it’s up-tempo like
New Found Glory but I can take NFG on tv because the lead singer is so
damn funny lookin’.
As for Slick Shoes, I can appreciate the Goonies reference and if
you like the “edgy” pop, then check it out. –David Morgan
