THE BLOOD BROTHERS CONTINUE TO STORM AMERICA
Five-Week U.S. Headline Tour Kicks off June 28
You've heard the buzz, you're read the press, you've listened to the CD. Now, it's time to experience THE BLOOD BROTHERS the way they should be, the way they MUST be - live in concert. Find out for yourself why media from all over the world have been absolutely raving about this band, and given The Blood Brothers some of the most consistently amazing press that any new band has gotten**. Following tours with AFI, The Used and Glassjaw, I Am Recordings/ARTISTdirect Records punk band The Blood Brothers will headline a five-week U.S. tour beginning June 28 in Portland, OR, that will take them from the West Coast to the East Coast, down South, and into the American heartland. The tour will include stops in New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, and other major markets.
The Blood Brothers are not only one of the most exciting bands live, but a punk band in the purest sense; the mind-set behind the band is a general unwillingness to compromise. As one writer writer put it, "The Blood Brothers are Guns 'N' Roses if Axl had grown up with At the Drive-In and Fugazi instead of Warrant." The group's latest CD, "Burn Piano Island, Burn" is one of the most coruscating releases of the year; a searing collision of punk, noise, art and rock that sounds like each instrument is slashing each other in a frenzied knife fight while vocalists Jordan Blilie and Johnny Whitney - guitarist Cody Votolato, bassist Morgan Henderson and drummer Mark Gajadhar complete the band - shout, scream and rage with a fury as manic and passionate as their lyrics are abstract.
The
Blood Brothers formed in 1997 in Seattle, WA and have since released two
previous CDs - "This Adultery is Ripe (2000) and "March On Electric
Children" (2002). The band came to a crossroads in their career in
2002 when producer Ross Robinson (Slipknot/Limp Bizkit) offered to sign
them to his I Am Recordings label and produce what would become their
new release, "Burn Piano Island, Burn" (March, 2003).
