Bursting out of your stereo like a freight train with it’s non-stop, energy-driven pop. ‘Shoeshine’ is rough around the edges, but powerful in its conviction. Catchy as it can get and if local fans are anything to go by it’s the hit of the year. 

Produced by ARIA nominated, Steven Schram (Ground Components, Little Red), he’s captured the raw energy of Johnny Rock and The Limits live shows and distilled it to a 3 and a half minute piece of rock n pop perfection. 

Coupled with their cover of the Police classic track, "Can't Stand Losing You" as the B-Side this single is all killer and no filler.

Following their single, ‘Give You What You Need,’ being featured in the summer Cornetto TV ad campaign early in the year, and touring their hit single ‘Shoeshine’ in June the band bring their fans what they’ve been waiting for...their much anticipated EP, ‘Highly Likely’ this September.

Produced by ARIA nominated, Steven Schram (Ground Components, Little Red), the raw energy of Johnny Rock and The Limits live shows has been captured and distilled into a 4 track set of all killer no filler EP.

Lyrics
I'm writing down this letter girl for you from me
Oh there is something 'bout you baby that i need to see
I'm packing my things to send your way
I've been away for too long baby now I'm here to stay

This is the last time I will say, "I've been away far too long baby," now i'm here to stay

I've lived a life of strict responsability
my hands are worn from all the bricks that I move everyday
I'm sitting here baby all alone
I've been away for too long baby now I'm coming home!

This is the last time I will say, "I've been away far too long baby," now i'm here to stay
Did you get my letter, I'm leaving today, I've been away far too long baby now I'm here to stay

I know you're waiting for me now
I think you know someway somehow
That i'll be right back by your side
and honey you know i dont lie

Yeah yeah yeah!
