Nachdem Blood Red Shoes 2007 mit „It’s Getting Boring By The Sea“ zum ersten Mal so richtig auf sich aufmerksam gemacht hat, ist die britische Mann/Frau-Band in der Zwischenzeit auch schon bei ihrem dritten Album, „In Time To Voices“ angekommen. Im Mai befindet sich das Tandem auf Tour durch Deutschland.

devo – whip it
Your favourite song lyrics?
prince – controversy
The White Stripes, The Strokes or The Libertines – which one do you prefer and why?
the strokes, totally. because they have loads of amazing vocal melodies.
The best “new” artist / band right now?

there’s a band called the cast of cheers who are coming on tour with us in the UK this year, they’re great.
they just have a really good energy, and i’ve not seen them live yet but i reckon they’re pretty intense and punchy.
Your favourite song about rebellion/revolution?

identity – x ray spex
The best song last year?

probably lana del ray, videogames. it’s pretty amazing, that song.
Your favourite movie about music?

metallica, some kind of monster
The most overrated band/artist?
most of them. probably the libertines though, people seem to think they’re gods but it’s just the emperor’s new clothes.
The best song you’ve ever written / recorded?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnEcHkSEtws[/youtube]
the silence and the drones on our new album, in time to voices.
Your favourite german song/record?
i actually can’t think of any songs in german apart from du hast nicht by rammstein!
Your favourite record of all time?
it’s pretty impossible to pick just one record. right now i’d probably say in rainbows by radiohead if you held me at gunpoint and asked me to choose.
