Box of Secrets

Blood Red Shoes

A high-tension debut of jagged guitar riffs and thunderous drums. Dual vocals collide in a sweaty, urgent blur of 2000s UK indie rock and garage-punk grit.

It is like a two-person riot in a basement where the drums are louder than the guitars.

Anxious, high-velocity frustration channeled into lean and loud garage-rock anthems.

Moments Worth Waiting For
the frantic drum fill that introduces the jagged guitar hook on ADHD
the sudden shift from sparse verses to the wall-of-sound chorus in You Bring Me Down
the unexpected arrival of a mournful violin on the closing track Hope Youre Holding Up
