Blood Red Shoes

The British alternative rock duo Blood Red Shoes was formed in Brighton and consists of Laura-Mary Carter and Steven Ansell. The band established itself within the British independent music scene and released its debut album Box of Secrets in 2008. This was followed by Fire Like This (2010), In Time to Voices (2012), and the self-titled Blood Red Shoes (2014), creating a continuous discography of studio recordings.

After a period of activities outside the main project, the band released the album Get Tragic in 2019, which was partly created during the members’ time in the United States. This was followed by their sixth studio album Ghosts on Tape (2022), the release of which was postponed due to pandemic-related restrictions.

In the following period, the band continued regular studio and live activities. In 2023, it released the album The Stone Tapes and further developed its own label platform, Jazz Life. In 2024, it marked 20 years of existence with a concert series and related recordings.

Current output is represented mainly by live recordings and retrospective projects, such as the album 20 Years of Blood Red Shoes: Live in Paris, released in 2025, which presents a cross-section of the band’s repertoire.
