Next album ="Box of Secrets" is the debut album by
Brighton -based rock bandBlood Red Shoes , which was released onApril 14 2008 , on the Mercury Records label. The album was leaked to the internet during November 2007.Several of the tracks were previously released as limited edition singles by the band, including "I Wish I Was Someone Better", "ADHD", "It's Getting Boring By The Sea" and "You Bring Me Down". The latter single was re-recorded and re-issued prior to the album's release. "Try Harder" was a B-side on the original single release of "You Bring Me Down". All of the band's singles appear as re-recorded versions on "Box of Secrets", with the exception of "I Wish I Was Someone Better". The single "
Say Something, Say Anything " was released onApril 7 2008 , to coincide with the album release.Interestingly, the title track does not appear on the album. "Box of Secrets" was a B-side on the "
It's Getting Boring by the Sea " single and is also featured on the compilation album "I'll Be Your Eyes ". The title is derived from a phrase between the two members to describe things that they can tell each other, but not anyone else.
