‘Under Control’ is a lovely little snippet of solid indie gold from the Morden quartet of genius, Good Shoes. This is the first track to be taken from their long awaited second album, No Hope, No Future, and is surely an indicator of spectacular things to come in 2010. It’s a punchy, dirty little number with "remix me" written all over it. I first came into contact with this band at Reading Festival 2007, having followed the mass of sweaty teens into a tiny tent, and was completely blown away; their new material is just as good, if not better than their fabled first release, Think Before You Speak. ‘Under Control’ is a triumphantly catchy offering, which will, if there’s any justice in the world, shove them a whole load of success in the new year.

Released 11th January 2010 on Brille Records. New album No Hope, No Future released 18th January 2010.
