Fire Like This
Blood Red Shoes
Following in the footsteps of other musical duos such as The White Stripes, The Ting Tings and...Chas N’ Dave, come Brighton two-some Blood Red Shoes. Taking their cues from bands such as Nirvana, Pixies and Sonic Youth, these influences are not easy to see on this second album, however their rock credentials are unquestionable – it’s a surprisingly deep sounding album for a duo to have created. Album opener ‘Don’t Ask’ is a great introduction to the band’s sound, which culminates in the seven-minute ‘Colours Fade’ – the band ‘turning things up to eleven’ with great results. In-between are curious and intriguing songs such as ‘When We Wake’ and ‘Heartsink’ which sounds like a distant relative of The Automatic’s indie anthem ‘Monster’. An encouraging second album from a band with a lot to offer.

I really liked that album.
Intensity; the best way to sum up a fantastic album. As the comments below agree this album has a stronger sense of maturity and depth than their debut album 'Box of Secrets'. Laura-Mary Carter is a force to be reckoned with vocally whilst Steven Ansell is savage in both his drumming and singing. Loud, catchy garage rock at it's best.
for me, this album seems more mature than the first one, harder and maybe sadder. love it <3 [2] I couldn't have said it better, thanks!
Great album. Listening this one since is out and it rocks. Great songs great album (yes once again)

WOW what a cd! When we wake...

good one. IMHO it's more agressive than BOS
Don't Ask is my current favourite I think (: But it's all good stuff
