Artist Description:As the five members of SoCal punk band Slick Shoes record their fifth full length album with legendary rock producer Ed Stasium (the Dickies, Misfits, Motorhead, Pennywise, Plasmatics, Ramones, Reverend Horton Heat, 7 Seconds, Talking Heads) at Calabasas, California's Castle Oak Studios, it's hard to believe that not too long ago, they were unexpectedly landing their first record contract with Tooth and Nail after impulsively sending out a haphazardly recorded demo tape. At the time, lead singer Ryan Kepke was a mere 14 years old and had only been a member of Slick Shoes, his first and only band, for two weeks: 'You could hear the rustling of papers on the tape, because he didn't even know the words yet and had to use lyric sheets,' drummer Joe Nixon recalls. 'I have no idea how that tape got us any sort of deal!' However, TandN execs heard the immense promise on the raw recording, quickly swooping up the young group and issuing four Slick Shoes albums (1997's Rusty, 1998's Burn Out, 2000's Wake Up Screaming, and 2002's self-titled release) over the ensuing seven prolific years.
