Additional info: OK, I mainly uploaded this discography as a request since I don't upload available-to-buy albums. Slick Shoes was a band from California who started around 1996. If you search on the internet there are millions of full biographies of them so I'll upload from time to time so unsorted FAQ about them.

- I heard they had a demo tape which I've never seen... supposedly they showed it to Tooth & Nail Records and they signed them up to record and release their first self titled EP.
- Slick Shoes might be considered the pioneers of that famous "Slick Shoes" style, even a lot of people say it was MxPx. The First MxPx album to sound "Slick Shoes-ish" (Life In General) was released in 1996, but at that time Slick Shoes already were composing their first EP songs and judging by how they sound, Slick Shoes went to a way more "tech/mature" sound.
- For the CD/Vinyl/Tape collectors, you can find everything on CD in just one press but the Self Titled LP and Far From Nowhere also exist in japanese press. You can find Rusty and Burn Out on tape too. On vinyl you can find the Self Titled EP in blue vinyl (7 inch) and I THINK that the only pressing of Rusty is in black vinyl, not sure if it was pressed in a different way.
- Songs that aren't from their CDs mmm... there are 3 songs in their split CD with Cooter (later re-released just to change the name Cooter to Autopilot Off), they recorded Candy (cover) for the Punk Goes Pop comp and they have 3 extra songs in their "best of" called "The Biggest And The Best". They have another random track called "Blackout" which I suppose is post-Far From Nowhere era (you can listen to it here). The song Once Again had a demo version many years ago too and they also had an exclusive track called "Anything Anything". I can't think of more right now.
- Their line up changed a lot through the years (singer and drummer were always the same thou). They've always been 1 guitar except in the Burn Out and Far From Nowhere era.
- It's strange there aren't too many videos of them playing live before the Far From Nowhere era. There's this Warped Tour 2003 video and some other random videos in Youtube (like 3 songs) but none of them from their old era.

- Keep checking this, I might add something more in the upcoming days/weeks, right now I'm blocked for extra info.
