Blood Red Shoes are a two-piece, punk/grunge band from Brighton, England.

Steven Ansell and Laura-Mary Carter formed the band in 2005. They have performed over 300 live shows and released eight singles.

They were signed to V2 in April 2007 with whom they released the singles “It’s Getting Boring By The Sea” and “I Wish I Was Someone Better”.

In an interview in Berlin, Laura-Mary expressed that the band’s name was taken from a Ginger Rogers/Fred Astaire musical, in which Ginger Rogers had turned a pair of white dancing shoes red with blood because she had been practicing dancing so much in them.
