Editor's note

Blood Red Shoes, a two-piece Brighton indie rock band

Laura-Mary Carter and Steven Ansell have been making lean, guitar-and-drums records since 2004.

For a quick sense of their sound, try 'Cold' or 'It's Getting Boring By The Sea', they're all lean noise and Carter's vocals cutting through.

They've stuck to a straightforward indie rock sound built for live energy, with songs like 'The Silence And The Drones' showing how their guitar-and-drums setup works. Their second album 'Fire Like This' included 'God Complex,' which helped them reach listeners outside the UK. Even after Ansell's Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis in 2012, they've kept recording and touring without shifting genres or chasing trends.

They formed in Brighton in 2004 and released their first album 'Box of Secrets' in 2008. Since then, they've put out albums fairly steadily, from 'In Time to Voices' in 2012 to 'Ghosts on Tape' in 2022.

Archive material and source history

Blood Red Shoes formed in Brighton in 2004 as a two-piece with Laura-Mary Carter on guitar and vocals and Steven Ansell on drums and vocals. Their first album, 'Box of Secrets,' came out in 2008, followed by 'Fire Like This' in 2010. That second record included 'God Complex,' which got some attention and helped them reach listeners outside the UK.

They've kept putting out albums fairly steadily, with 'In Time to Voices' in 2012, a self-titled one in 2014, 'Get Tragic' in 2019, and 'Ghosts on Tape' in 2022. Songs like 'Cold' and 'It's Getting Boring By The Sea' show their lean, guitar-and-drums setup, with Carter's vocals cutting through the noise. Ansell's diagnosis with Multiple Sclerosis in 2012 hasn't stopped them from recording or touring.

Their sound is straightforward indie rock, built for live shows where the energy comes from just the two of them on stage. They haven't really shifted genres or chased trends, just kept making records that sound like Blood Red Shoes.
