So this year when I voted in the Triple J Hottest 100, for my top song I voted for 'Light it up' from a little duo from Brighton UK called Blood Red Shoes. Laura-Mary Carter on guitar/vocal and Steven Ansell on drums/vocal. I am forever amazed by little duos/trios who make such a big rocking sound. I lived in Brighton for a year and some, got up to mischief there before I found my husband and now we happily get up to mischief together....but I am still kicking myself for not taking up a friends offer to go to Blood Red Shoes back then when I'd never heard of them...argh. The love affair would have began much earlier. Not to worry, lately I've enjoyed Blood Red Shoes' two albums - Box of Secrets (2008) and Fire Like this (2010), can be played together on shuffle, and still share an amazing sound with each song holding it's own. Follow them on twitter if you like www.twitter.com/bloodredshoes
Recommend listening whilst commuting, cleaning, studying and ballet....rock ballet, fuck yeah!
