Blood Red Shoes
V2
Laura-Mary Carter, who provides the voice, guitar churn and chutzpah to Blood Red Shoes, is well on her way to becoming the Shirley Manson of this millennium. With a teetering, mild, rock-slide of a single, this piercing pair strides ever closer to their debut album release which could establish the Brightonians as atmospheric Indie royalty.
Laura-Mary is already seen by many as an independent-minded soul, whose guitar churning, and sturdily defiant vocals provide a firm base to communicate the outfit’s uncompromising perspective. For ‘You Bring Me Down’, Laura-Mary seems more than qualified to communicate the turmoil that surrounds letting the heart win the battle against the head. The dilemma surrounding this personal issue reaches boiling point when the duo build up to a crunching chorus; the strident guitars wrap around the knocking, rock-sure, and tone increasing drum combinations of Steve Ansell. Integrity is retained, yet a radio friendly anthem is conjured up; it’s all going right for Blood Red Shoes. Words: Dave Adair
