The Blood Brothers

I have really been into this new album (Young Machetes) since it came out. And I am liking it more and more. I was already a fan of The Blood Brothers after they put out their second album (Crimes) and I first heard the song "Love Rhymes With Hideous Car Wrecks". But this new album really lets their talent shine. The vocals are traded back and forth between two of them. Don't let the screechy vocals get you before you give them a chance! They will grate at your nerves for a bit but then all of the sudden the clouds will lift and you will be left with a very surprising result. Periods of torture are rewarded with sweet refrains. You will find yourself falling in love with their album in it's entirety. Here is the video for their new single "Laser Life".

The Blood Brothers is an experimental post-hardcore/art punk band formed in the Eastside suburbs of Seattle, Washington, USA in 1997. Members are: Jordan Blilie (vocals), Johnny Whitney (vocals), and Morgan Henderson (bass), along with Waxwing's Cody Votolato (guitar) and Mark Gajadhar (drums).

The band has two dedicated lead vocalists. In addition to this, Cody and Morgan perform back-up vocals. Recent albums (March on Electric Children, Rumors Laid Waste, ...Burn, Piano Island, Burn and especially Crimes) have featured a degree of experimental instrumentation: Morgan often deviates from bass to add a second guitar , and also utilizes laptop technology. Johnny has added piano and Wurlitzer organ to many more songs, a process which actually began on "American Vultures" from March on Electric Children. He has claimed he always wanted to incorporate such instruments into the Blood Brothers' sound, but only on signing with a major label prior to ...Burn, Piano Island, Burn did he have the means to do this
