I first saw Blood Red Shoes at a small gig in Kingston. I'd heard 'ADHD' and 'You Bring Me Down' already and was dying to hear more. I wasn't disappointed. I knew from following the White Stripes that you can make a pretty good sound from a drum kit and guitar, but you have to be pretty damn talented to pull it off, and that they are. A kinda British White Stripes in reverse you have one very talented girl on guitar and a guy bashing the hell out a drum kit, that's it. They produce a sound twice as loud and with twice as much energy as a band with four, five, six members. The energy they showed on stage is captured on their debut recording Box of Secrets. 11 top rock tunes from one of the best new bands around. This album came out roughly the same time as the Tings Tings 'We Started Nothing' who overshadowed them as the new boy/girl combo. If you like the Tings Tings, but would rather something with a little more substance, try Blood Red Shoes. They won't disappoint.
