Album Review: Blood Red Shoes - Blood Red Shoes

Almost drowning in a very specific kind of nostalgia, much of Blood Red Shoes channels heavy-rock's origins, when a foreboding sense of dread was more important than anger or soaring guitar solos. At times they go beyond homage, with songs like Behind A Wall and Don't Get Caught, the most unique offerings, buried mid-album and almost lost amongst the soundalikes. Ultimately, Blood Red Shoes the album does little to differentiate Blood Red Shoes the band from their influences. If you like the same bands they obviously do, you've heard it all before.
