The Shoes aka Guillaume & Benjamin grew up in the French town of Reims (45 mins outside Paris), they met at the age of 15 and immediately gelled, falling into a love-hate affair that's seen many a twist and turn along the way. Needless to say, the relationship that was built on a love of music, girls and being too cool for école, is still going strong.
Having written their debut album 'Crack My Bones', the duo called upon a number of friends and contemporary artists to join them on their journey. The likes of Gonzales, Esser, The Cock'n Bull Kid, Primary One and Wave Machines can all be found adding keys, vocals, percussion and love to the well-rounded long player. Also The Shoes' artwork and press pics is all shot by Gavin Watson (This Is England).
As well as wrtiting their original material, they've recently produced tracks for Shakira's new album that feature Dizzee Rascal and Pitbull, and French superstars Raphael (million album seller), Gaetan Roussel (platinum) and Julien Dore (platinum), whilst also having tracks synched on hit TV show Gossip Girl, the new Joel Schumacher film "Twelve".
