WORLD PREMIERE OF "SCARED TO CAPSIZE"

We're very proud and excited to present "Scared To Capsize", the second in a series of thirteen videos to accompany Laura's forthcoming debut album. A close collaboration with director / visual artist Judy Jacob of Beggar's Velvet, the video stars Ben James, Bass and Kat Bax wearing fabulous costumes from The Die Mortal Room with magical props created specially for the shoot by Aste Amundsen.

LATEST PRESS

"Imagine appealingly grainy angst-pop à la Blood Red Shoes shot through in leftfield with the conceptual imagination of someone like Melissa Auf der Maur, and you’ll get somewhere close to She Makes War." - Wears The Trousers, May 2010

“…brilliant one woman project She Makes War’s…special brand of gloom punk-pop is as infectious as it is beautiful. Her first single ‘Let This Be’ combines Kidd’s varied influences to create a grunge pop lament to a melancholy lover. The most obvious comparison for Kidd would be Laura Mary Carter, the softly spoken riff queen from Blood Red Shoes.” -
The Girls Are, May 2010
