Under rated brilliance

Todays album is by the Blood Red Shoes - Fire Like This. Which can be found on Amazon here

It was released in 2010, and hasn't seen anywhere near the exposure it deserves. 

Heavy riffs combined with poppy indie overtones means this album is pretty much timeless. And is basically designed to suit most occasions.

Obviously the best way to listen to it is in a dark (possibly strobe light filled) room, with a beer in one hand, jumping around with countless other sweaty people. It deserves to be cranked up to an 11.

My fave song is Light It Up - which is on youtube here. Big shouting vocals and hip shaking guitar will always have a place in my heart.

Unfortunately they aren't due in the UK anytime soon, but here is their tour dates anyway! Some of you might be lucky enough to get over to Germany....

  2. He Sarah,
    Thanks for the comment, thought I'd return the favor! Good luck on your blog here, just make sure you pace yourself. I've always dreamed of going every day, but with work and all that...
    Enough of that! I've actually just put up a free album on my blog, so feel free to stop by (again). Good luck!
    -Matt
