Brighton, England's Blood Red Shoes features Laura-Mary Carter and Steven Ansell, two enthusiastic, punk-inspired brawlers who channel the clamor of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the Duke Spirit, and Huggy Bear. Ansell, who performed with Cat on Form, and Carter, a former member of Lady Muck, came together in late 2004 upon the demise of their previous bands. By mid-2005, Blood Red Shoes readied the release of their debut 7" EP for the London indie imprint Jonson Family, which sold out in just weeks. Follow-up singles "ADHD" and "Stitch Me Back" arrived on Try Harder in early 2006. ~ MacKenzie Wilson
