The Blood Brothers

Seattle's Blood Brothers are about to release one of the best albums of the year on October 10th through V2 Records. Entitled Young Machetes and produced by Fugazi's Guy Picciotto, this record is far and away the group's finest.

For those of you that haven't been following the progress of The Bro's, here's the scoop: they're a five piece who have released four LPs since their inception in 1997. Their style is a difficult to describe - "post-hardcore" seems to make the most sense, as they employ extremely fast drumming and guitar work underneath blistering screamed vocals. Granted, this isn't the kind of thing your typical indie fan would be into - but give them a listen. They do what they do with such creativity and passion that it becomes difficult to ignore.

I've included what I feel is one of the best tracks from Young Machetes. Do yourself a favor and try to look past the screaming and the grind - if you can, you'll glimpse a nightmarish world of startling originality.
