The Blood Brothers Band • Page 3

sorry for the bump but i decided to do a discog run today and damn does it hold up. miss this band soooo much.

 

You got me way too excited! haha I miss them too though, still one of my favorite bands and really have never found another band who is even that similar to them.

 

This weekend I discovered the band Brainiac, and I've just been blown away ever since. It's insane hearing this band play songs that sound like a ton of other bands that all came AFTER them.

Skip to about half way into the song and you will hear Blood Brothers style stuff, but done in 1996 (!!!)

 

...Burn, Piano Island, Burn is a stone cold classic

 

I’ve always been on the Burn Piano Island Burn hype train, but I listened to it and Crimes back to back a couple weeks ago, and Crimes is hit after hit after hit. So now I’m on the Crimes hype train.

 

yeah Crimes is their best imo

 

i think i severely under appreciated young machetes. they went out with a bang.

 

Young Machetes is incredible and if you ask me - it’s their best record to date.

 

Burn piano island burn was a turning point record for me. I love how chaotic and weird it is but it makes total sense when it comes together (synths, nylon acoustics, duel screams etc). The production was great for them too. That’s my only beef with Crimes, the change in production was jarring for me after burn piano island and seeing some of the Crimes songs live leading up to its release

 

going through their discog for the first time. did not like the debut but march on is fucking insane. excited to listen to piano island next

 

Burn Piano Island is their peak in my opinion. I was floored by that album

 

Fun fact: Johnny Whitney is now a UI Developer at Netflix.

 

Young Machetes*

 

Young machetes is great, but BPIB eeks it out in my mind. Could be that it’s the album that got me into them, but I had never heard anything like it at the time. It is still wild to listen to all this time later.

 

BPIB was always my favorite until I recently listened to both BPIB and Crimes back to back. I think Crimes is actually my favorite now.

 

I should give it another shot. I remember loving the songs but the production was jarring after BPIB being so tight

 

only on the title track but piano island is insane. this album sounds like a panic attack. this is exactly what I like from this kinda of music. ngl tho I can't tell the vocalists apart

 

the amount of crimes disrespect in this chat right now is bad. bpib was them honing it all in and then they delivered their masterpiece with crimes.

 

all their albums are great, and massively influential

 

but young machetes is my favorite

 

wasn't there a blood brothers/gatsbys american dream connection? like the drummer was brothers w/ someone in GAD

 

blood brothers sounds like angry gad imo

 

Blood Brothers drummer’s brother played in GAD, I think

 

Like an angry eccentric high pitched post-hardcore version of GAD.
