Blood Brothers

[KingLouieLouie]

Is Heavy Metal dead? It may be not as "potent" as it once was, however, Seattle's based "punk metal" band the Blood Brothers want to stake their claim in reviving metal.....

The Blood Brothers have been around since the late 90s, but are starting to create a heavy fervor with their latest release "Crimes".....I certainly mean HEAVY... This band features the dynamic vocal stylings of Jordan Billie and Johnny Whitney and lord can Billie's voice "shriek" with the best of them... He's just a "freak of nature" with his vocal assault in each and every song.....Just to add...Whitney is the perfect counter balance to Billie's vocals... Complements them well with his far-ranging scope he covers himself..

They've been compared to the likes of AFI, Sick of It All, and At the Drive-In.. Just an amazing blend of punk, indie-music, and metal....

If you've havent heard of them before, here is their official website...

So with bands like the Blood Brothers, Metal still has a pulse....

I've been listening to the Blood Brothers for a few years now and they're hard to describe. They're just weird. They're also the type of band that you either love or hate, no middle ground.

How did you come initially come across them? Were you still back in FL at the time? Do they receive a lot of airtime on the local Seattle radio stations?

Yeah... I must admit they're "weird", but definitely in the "positive sorta way"....

They are definitely interesting. They came here on tour last year and went party hopping with my friend. Their sound is pretty intense. I wouldn't say I love em. Its more of like a 5th grade crush. I know I like them, but I'm not sure why.

It's interesting to revisit older threads on newer bands that I came across way back when...... Especially when they release newer material since the initial post....

I haven't completely checked-out the Blood Brother's new release (came out on 10/10/06) titled "Young Machetes", but I think their first single off the album, "Laser Life" is simpling amazing and I must listen to this cd in its entirety since.. wow....its simply superb:
