Brighton duo Blood Red Shoes have followed The White Stripes blueprint, but have flipped it with Laura-Mary Carter on vocals and guitar and Steven Ansell on drums and heading down a raw grunge route. Though much like the Stripes, their sound belies the fact that just two people are making such a raucous racket. Counting emo kings Panic! at the Disco among their fans (though they don’t count themselves as Panic! fans) they have all the makings of one of 2007’s big breakthrough acts. Barf/y Glasgow, Mon 5 Feb: Cabaret Voltaire, Edinburgh. Tue 6‘ Feb.
