About this album
Present Tense is a sharply written power pop album that distils Shoes’ knack for concise hooks, chiming guitars and taut harmony vocals. Released in 1979, it arrived as New Wave was widening the audience for witty, guitar-driven pop, and Shoes stood out for turning that energy into songs with real melodic discipline. The album moves with brisk assurance, balancing urgency and polish without losing its garage-rooted edge. Its appeal lies in the way the band makes craft sound effortless, turning near-perfect pop structures into something immediate, memorable and quietly influential.
