Blood Brothers Call It Quits...?

[Frank Giaramita]

According to one source (www.punktastic.com), The Blood Brothers (http://thebloodbrothers.com/noflash.html) have parted ways to pursue side projects. Let's hope this one source doesn't know what they're talking about.

[Crimson_Curse]

I would die...

[Seancore]

they need to, their music and live show has become terrible.

[iHATEapril]

I would be so pissed, seeing as I just got tickets to HOB w/ Coheed...but I would still go because Coheed is amazing.

[SilverApples]

fuck this thread.

[colorlesscliche]

In my opinion, they just got real big. I don't see this happening.

[paul manley]

i never listened to them.
but i'm sure this is not true

[spotcollins]

well there's Neon Blonde, and I suppose Waxwing never officially broke up, so it's definetly plausible- seeing how Blood Bros started as a side project itself anyway.

[rrryan]

In my opinion, they just got real big. I don't see this happening.

they are real big??

[Amplifried]

They're supposed to be playing with Coheed this fall.

[CIMA]

I dont want this to be true.

I'm still getting over Northstar breaking up. I can't handle another band I love breaking up.

[Strikeanywhere3]

god dont let this be true. they put most of the bands on this website to shame. their live show is insane

[weaknights]

i'm pretty sure it's not true.. someone started a rumor on some lj community.

[paul manley]

I'm still getting over Northstar breaking up.

i will never get over that.

[FoR3VeR]

they were recently scheduled for a festival in italy in september
anyway, im really hopin' that's not true...

[erikdosmil]

Neon Blonde = The Blood Brothers.

[Tony]

I'm crossing my fingers that this isn't true. Crimes was easily my favorite album last year.

[Nightingale00]

i hope they never break up.
but then again, they are becoming really trendy.
oh well, they better split after the coheed tour so i can see them one last time.

[redrocket]

head wound city ,neon blonde,waxwing ,soiled doves<-----none of these compare to the blood bros, this is shitty

[brianlugo]

the live show is terrible. but i still think the band and the music they put out is amazing. definetly had an impact on my musical interests.

[eldude9482]

Noooooooooo

[SilverApples]

(in regards to northstar breaking up) i will never get over that.
this is the most hilarious post of the day

[Criesofthepast7]

i hope they dont break up. It sucks being only 13 and the Blood Bro and Co and Ca tour is on a tue. AND I HAVE SCHOOL THAT DAY so i cant go. :Mad_anim:

[marchfaster]

they need to, their music and live show has become terrible.
this is true...
but it'd still be sad, they came up with some good stuff on the new cd, im looking forward to another one.
and the neon blonde EP was close to terrible...

i doubt this is true though.

[veronabryce]

thank god

[Isolated]

They couldn't do that to us.. could they? :'(

[Sycro]

this is the most hilarious post of the day

i second that.

[handofgod]

put on the worst live show i have ever seen. shite band.

[Strikeanywhere3]

i dont know how you can say the blood brothers have a bad llive show, ive seen them 6 times the intensity is always so high. and their instruments are all ways right on

[kissbangkill]

head wound city ,neon blonde,waxwing ,soiled doves<-----none of these compare to the blood bros, this is shitty


waxwing are not, and never have been a blood brothers side project.

[AFSjulian]

The two times I've seen The Blood Brothers, they've been flawless. The instruments have been right on, the vocals were just as they are on the records, and there was just a HUGE amount of energy throughout the entire set. I'd hate to see them break up, but I love Waxwing and wouldn't complain about another record from them either.

[Scott Weber]

I seriously doubt this is true.

[CrucifiedHeart]

not that sounding tight is what makes a band good live, but i saw them live on and watched their dvd and both times, for a band that sounds so fucking spastic and chaotic, they were actually really tight when I saw them.

dont know why people waste their and my time to come to a thread about a band breaking up just to say "this band sucks" but whatever its a free country.

i'll just say that

1. I dont think the rumor is true, at least i havent really heard any strong evidence to support this but i will email them and johny to ask them i guess

2. more trendy? na. unless we're just at a miscommunication of words but theyre def getting more popular and at the same losing fans. many bro dudes that like to beat the shit outta people say the blood brothers new cd isnt hardcore blah blah wah wah. who cares, people bitch about bands sounding the same, people bitch about bands sounding different. what a waste of time.

[redrocket]

i think it is true, thats why they are not lsited on the coca fall tour

[dretti]

Eh, whatever.

[chokeychicken]

would that mean they wouldn't play jersey with coheed, or it would be their last show?

cause if that would be the blood brothers last show, i'll be making the drive.

[romantic rights]

head wound city ,neon blonde,waxwing ,soiled doves<-----none of these compare to the blood bros, this is shitty

soiled doves were arround before the blood brothers, so they arent really a side project

[yeknom]

waxwing are not, and never have been a blood brothers side project.

fingers cut megamachine!

[Adeniz19]

i hope this isnt true. crimes has really grown on me and i cant wait to see what they do next

[jawkneephighv]

This has to be fake -- they're just getting bigger.

[brianlugo]

fingers cut megamachine!

what do you know about them?

[FrancesdaMute]

why would they confirm a bunch of fall tour dates....to break up a couple weeks thereafter. I don't this is true, and if it is i'm disappointed in their level of professionalism. That and the fact i have yet to hear devastator live.

[Frank Giaramita]

It's not like bands PLAN to break up..."well, we shouldn't book these tour dates because we have plans to break up in a few weeks". Maybe there was a fight, an argument, whatever. Professionalism has nothing to do with it. I still think its a false rumor however.

[danattheocean]

this is not true! the band are currently in australia and new zealand touring. have plans to play europe later this summer and then will be doing a us tour this fall.

johnny and mark have just recently released an ep as neon blonde on dim mak and have an album coming later in the summer.

[romantic rights]

fingers cut megamachine!

thats ex members of osker, they have nothing to do with the blood brothers

[SilverApples]

johnny and mark have just recently released an ep as neon blonde on dim mak and have an album coming later in the summer.
whoa whoa whoa...

johnny and mark just released an ep as neon blonde? holy shit. i hadn't heard of this! well, if you take away the other five times this was mentioned in this thread, not to forget the fact that neon blonde has been working on their ep for a while.

what is the next nugget of info you're going to let us know about? head wound city? waxwing? dolt.

[Greg Dona]

I dont want this to be true.

I'm still getting over Northstar breaking up. I can't handle another band I love breaking up.
i still <3 n*

[projectmayhem16]

this better not fucking be true

[__Manufacturing]

their side projects are good but they dont compare to blood brothers
if this is true im going to cry. their live shows are amazing and they still
have shows scedualed so hopefully this isnt true.

[WeDreamOfDays]

Wow. If this is true, I will seriously be disappointed. Beyond that even.

[nihilst]

This is stupid. To pursue side projects? HWC will never be a full time project. Jp, Gabe, and nick all have their own shit to do(the locust,some girls, holy molar, yeah yeah yeahs, and the running of a label). Neon blonde i doubt will be full time anytime soon. I don't know morgans plans except he has an electronica(or something like it) side project. The point is this is stupid and i am 90% sure its not true, at least not because of side projects.

I also can't see waxwing doing anything soon either. Rocky has his thing, rudy is in gatsby's, cody in bb(supposedly).

[I Shoot Bands]

this better not be true! along with coheed and another very select few bands they are leading the music world and being more creative than most of the other music that is out there. they are all so tallented and so good and when they play they are so tight and oh man. when i see coheed on thursday and friday and i'm going to try and find out from them if this is true. because if it is, this would be one the biggest loses to music right now.

[duffe]

i hope it's not the true :(

[brooklynburning]

I don't know morgans plans except he has an electronica(or something like it) side project.

yeah, YKK, i havent heard anything though and would really like too. have you heard anything?

still, all the side projects cant match the blood brothers. it would be horrible in fact if they did break up.

[partyshark]

waxwing = needs to make another cd

[siren siren]

What The Fuckkkk

[GAD_guy]

well, the blood brothers have definitely been one of my favorite bands for quite some time now, but i have mixed feelings about this. some people may attack me for this, but i think their time as a band has run it's course and this may be the right move. the band started out as a side project, an experiment. these guy all (used) to have major issues with the idea of being "big" (played on MTV or the radio).
i think they already released their best album in burn piano island, burn and will never be able to duplicate that record. it seemed like every record bulit upon the previous one, and they just kept becoming more and more unique and original and amazing, and then crimes came out. alot of people here feel as though crimes is their best album, but if you really study their progression as a band, you might be as dissapointed by it as i am. it was supposed to continue that progression, not shatter it. for me, it was almost like they totally returned to square one. it still has it's originality and uniqueness, but it's just not the same.
anyway, with that record they got the large fanbase they never used to want, and started hearing massive complaints about their live show. for those of you who have been fan of the blood brothers for a while, you know that their live show used to be the best around. they were one of those bands you had to see live to compliment their sound. the first time i saw them live, my jaw hit the floor and stayed right there until they were done. now it's almost like all that passion and energy was sucked out of them. when i saw them a couple months ago this was blatently obvious. sure they were going through all the motions but that same enrgy just wasn't there. they are bored of this band and of making this music and want to move on to bigger and better things, and i think that is the right thing to do.
i would be surprised if this particular rumor was true though.

[MiettePourLaVie]

waxwing = needs to make another cd

mos def.

[March_Faster!!]

I will sacrifice a dog in the middle of my neighborhood street, to the pagan gods to pray this isn't true! (god that sentence was rife with errors)

[JunkBondTrader]

i have heard some bullshit comments in this thread........lets set the record straight

point A. the blood brothers are anything BUT trendy

point B. Crimes is absolutely NOT a step back in any way

point C. The Blood Brothers put on a fucking AMAZING live show

point D. If you refuse to believe the progression on Crimes then just read the lyric sheets

point E. I love all of thier albums so if they breakup I will fucking die

hardcore at its finest

[AreTwoKay]

If this is real, this is very sad news

[Darren McLeod]

Yeah, it'd be pretty terrible if this was true. I'm hoping it's not.

[protagonist]

i'm pretty sure it's not true.. someone started a rumor on some lj community.
As all good rumors are.

God. Why can't bands I like stay together.

I think I'm jinxed.

[burnpianoisland]

i refuse to believe it. i won't fucking let them.

[Absolute Mest]

I dont want this to be true.

I'm still getting over Northstar breaking up. I can't handle another band I love breaking up.
NORTHSTAR BROKE UP!!

EDIT: No wait, nevermind, i heard this before. I guess I made myself forget.

[Tommyg117]

This can't be true! they are amazing and have their best yet to come

[Absolute Mest]

i'm not one who wants to see the blood brothers break up but i guess things like this happen. but hopefully they'll reunite if they do (hopefully not). but really, whatever happens happens. hopefully we all get to see them one last time.

[gunner]

yeah, YKK, i havent heard anything though and would really like too. have you heard anything?

still, all the side projects cant match the blood brothers. it would be horrible in fact if they did break up.


here is some old YKK stuff: http://www.dustortion.com/ykk.html

enjoy!

[Scott Weber]

waxwing = needs to make another cd
That'd be rad, but since Rudy is in Gatsby's now I'd rather see him stay in Gatsby's making music.

point A. the blood brothers are anything BUT trendy
the blood brothers are trendy as hell, are you kidding? it's such a scenester trend to own that black hoodie with the red horse on it...everybody has it...even people I know that can't stomach the blood brothers actual music. so many 16 year old girls love the blood bros, especially here in Seattle..it's a gigantic trend. sorry.

point B. Crimes is absolutely NOT a step back in any way
Yes it was. I liked it, but it wasn't half the album Burn Piano Island, Burn waspoint C. The Blood Brothers put on a fucking AMAZING live show
i'll give you that.

hardcore at its finest
I'd consider the blood brothers more like sass-core. I don't really see them as hardcore.

[CIMA]

I'm friends with Blood Brothers on Myspace.

They sent a bulliten out saying they haven't broken up.

[UrOwNdISaStR180]

God No! Please Don't Be True

[Re5cueMe]

hmm, im sure this is not true. they are signed to V2 records and I am sure they signed some contract with them. although, it really wouldnt matter to me. i have seen them a few times and nothing can get better than burn piano island burn.

i cant wait for the Head Wound City stuff to come out. that'll be fucking awesome.

the neon blonde shit is alright, not a whole lot diff from the blood brothers music. it's hard to listen to another band with Johnny singing. it just reminds me of the blood brothers so much.

[Rufio21]

According to one source (www.punktastic.com), The Blood Brothers (http://thebloodbrothers.com/noflash.html) have parted ways to pursue side projects. Let's hope this one source doesn't know what they're talking about.

I wouldnt be surprised. They were never meant to get this big, now they are worshipped it seems..I dont think they want that.. .Also they are in a lot of other side projects as it is.

[nihilst]

He meant they don't follow trends. They may start them but that isn't really their fault.

[fatabooking]

the blood brothers did not break up....not sure how this rumor started or why it did, but the band is still together. if anything happened we would know. thanks.

-DJ
Fata Booking

[manican sex]

they proberly didnt break up but i think this erupted some feelings for me about this band. ive loved the blood brothers for awhile. burn piano island and this adueltry is ripe are two of my favorite albums and the first time i saw the blood brothers it was beautiful. church basement and just a pile a kids around jordan laying on the stage beat as shit screaming "raise the fuckin flag, the flag of mutiny" seen them two times since that and each time it got bigger. i liked crimes alot an i def can see thats how they wanted to go, and i love them for doing their thing but when jordan trys to get in the crowd to scream with the fans an he is being held up by body guards it just loses soemthign bout their live shows.

i hope they make the right direction as a band, i know they will

[grind_art]

you're all a bunch of tards.

"we're the blood brothers. it's the late 90's. lets release rumors laid to waste, along with a couple other great albums. now let's release burn piano island, burn, our greatest album. our shows are awesome, and are at small venues without bouncers and bullshit. ok... now, let's release a shitty dancy album that is totally lacking in talent, and play to sold out theatres 20 feet from the audience, with 50 fat asshole bouncers keeping our fans away from us. give us the money, give us your money, make us fucking rich."


saw them twice back when they were decent and fun. now? i wouldn't waste my money or time.

head wound city is where it's at anyway.

I like how you registered a solid 3 weeks after this was a news post just to shit all over The Blood Brothers.
