Brighton Rockers Blood Red Shoes are back with ‘Fire like This’ with their follow up to the 2008’s ‘Box of Secrets’.
What can i say, Pleasantly suprised with this one. Prejudgment told me this was another album to get lost in the cracks of the Indie walkways... but to be honest its bloody good, ‘no pun intended’ haha!!. The album kicks off with a great track called ‘dont ask’ which is an obvious single blood red could utilise. Vocalist Laura-Mary seems to have got the perfect balance of indie grunge and melody on this LP, drummer Steven Ansell seems more at home with this sound and direction too!!
This Analogue recorded album has a slight hint of Nirvarna which works really well. It sounds honest and pure with an allmighty front, which speaks volumes for the band as just a 2 Peice. The dynamics are immense and the mood switches from sweet purity to overdriven anarchy. I cry for a bassist in this band as the back bone and tracks are there, but a slight punch af a crunchy rickenbacker could just tip them to the top of many radio DJ’s playlists. Bassist or not, this album has balls and is defiantely worth a purchase.
