Nate Lanxon's back with the latest music videos once again, and in this episode it's as if he stepped back in time as we're treated to big hair, smoke machines and synth lines a-plenty with New Zealand's answer to Berlinda Carlisle, Ladyhawke, and her latest single 'Back of the Van'. Next up is Delays with 'Everything's the Rush', the video to which was directed by Lee Lennox, who did a brilliant video for The Presets last year; and finally we round off with some chart-friendly pop with Roisin Murphy's 'You Know Me Better'.

Album Focus: Blood Red Shoes – 'Box of Secrets'
Encoded | 18 April 2008
Blood Red Shoes' debut album Box of Secrets is so good we've made them band of the week in Encoded's Album Focus show.
