  • Os Shoes são uma banda norte-americana de power pop formada em 1974. Seus integrantes são os irmãos Jeff Murphy (guitarra / vocais) e John Murphy (baixo / vocais), e os amigos Gary Klebe (guitarra / vocais) e Skip Meyer (bateria). Segundo Collin Makamson "por anos em salas ou porões alugados, os Shoes travaram uma calma e educada revolução pop DIY, gravando discos inteiros em casa, na pequena cidade de Zion, Illinois, cada um amorosamente trabalhado com paixão e perfeccionismo". O Allmusic cita que "apesar da qualidade instantaneamente acessível e cativante de suas músicas, a banda não conseguiu alcançar sucesso comercial". (pt)

  • A formalist's delight—the three principals pursue their theme of Sad Love as obsessively as a cavalier writing sonnets to his lady. Their voices are interchangeably breathy, their tempos unflappably moderate, their guitar hooks unfailingly right. And when for a change of pace one of them sounds bitter the effect is as startling as a Johnny Ramone guitar solo. (en)
