The Blood Brothers

The Blood Brothers are Jordan, Johnny, Mark, Cody and Morgan. Spawned from the streets of Seattle, the quintet take the hardcore template first laid by Botch, camp it up into a whirling frenzy and spit out rapid-fire bloody murder.

On record inventive and acerbic, live enthralling and entertaining, The Blood Brothers are among the finest hardcore bands around - if you wish to categorise their music as simply hardcore, that is.

The Blood Brothers have toured the UK alongside the likes of Liars, Winnebago Deal and Pretty Girls Make Graves. They took Bullet Union on tour with them in Europe. They are shit hot and YOU should listen to them.

The band have a few side projects on the go, too: Cody plays in Head Wound City, while Mark and Johnny are the core of Neon Blonde (click highlighted text for links).
