When MTV went on the air on August 1, 1981, the channel aired four of Shoes’ videos: “Too Late”, “Tomorrow Night”, “Cruel You” and “In My Arms Again”, making Shoes one of the first bands to be shown on MTV. The band went on to do three more videos: “In Her Shadow” (1982), “When Push Comes To Shove”(1985) and “Feel The Way That I Do” (1991). Shoes also formed their own record label, Black Vinyl Records, and owned and operated their own commercial recording studio (Short Order Recorder) from 1983 to 2004. Many artists recorded at the studio and some went on to sign major label recording contracts, including Local H and Material Issue. 2. Russian pop-punk band. 3.
