Having just finished recording our debut album, finally having a legal driver in the band and having played enough gigs to actually know what chords are for which songs The Stilletoes are more ready and just as energized as we ever were. This is no bullshit. We never lost the passion or the drive that the little, unexperienced but exited 15 & 11 year old Efa & Iago had starting this band at the end of 2006. We’ve finally beaten some of the frustrations being young and in a band can give you, and so our confidence and dreams are sky high, our songs are catchier, still as opinionated and our shows are more unpredictable than ever. We finally found someone who could actually play his instrument to become bass player number 3 at the end of 2007; James Peglar - the muso who became the glue of this band, the one who helped us develop. He taught Iago what rhythm was, and brought out the potential of the angry but thoughtfull pop punk gems Efa was churning out. Watch out for the album, you’re gunna fucking love it – it’s young, it’s orginal, it’s energetic and colourful. It’s ours, it’s yours, it’s full of things to say, ideas to tell you about and catchy, grungey pop songs. 1,2,3,4…..
