Blood Red Shoes - Say Something, Say Anything

It’s difficult to believe that Blood Red Shoes is a duo when listening to ‘Say Something, Say Anything’. There’s a beefiness to the single which is lacking in bands with twice the personnel, and the musical complexities make for a strong effort from the Brighton twosome. The heartfelt vocals are matched by a jagged guitar riff, shot through with the modernity that Blood Red Shoes bring to all their records, and the ingenuity which is setting them apart from the crowd at the moment. The band is fresh off a sellout UK tour and, if ‘Say Something, Say Anything’ is anything to go by, it won’t be long before they’re selling out bigger venues. Kirstie McCrum
