Blood Red Shoes are a two-piece, rock band from Brighton, England. Consisting of Steven Ansell and Laura-Mary Carter, they formed in 2005 after their previous bands (Cat On Form and Lady Muck respectively) had broken up and they decided to "have a jam". They have performed over 300 live shows and released six singles since they began in late 2004. They were signed to V2 in April 2007 with whom they released the singles "It's Getting Boring By The Sea" (June 11, 2007) and "I Wish I Was Someone Better" (October 29, 2007). However following the sale of V2 to Universal, the band's debut album Box of Secrets is scheduled for release on Mercury Records in April 2008. It was leaked to private torrent trackers in November 2007, months before its retail release date.
