“...‘Crimes’ paces itself with entrails-spilling murder ballads and packs its breakneck hardcore freakouts into two-minute dirty bombs.” - Pitchfork 7.5
From 1997 to 2007, The Blood Brothers’ “molotov mixture of suburb surrealism and sonic extremity” (Alternative Press) rocked and riveted critics and fans around the world. Today, Seattle’s venerable post-hardcore five piece are honoring the twentieth anniversary of their seminal fourth album ‘Crimes’ with a limited vinyl reissue available now via Epitaph.

Formed in the suburbs of Seattle, the dueling singers Johnny Whitney and Jordan Blilie along with Cody Votolato (guitar), Morgan Henderson (bass) and Mark Gajadhar (drums) crafted a unique style of convulsive, groundbreaking hardcore that was quickly embraced by critics and fans of punk, hardcore and indie rock.
Over their ten years in existence the quintet released five critically acclaimed studio albums (four of which Epitaph has re-issued), including Burn, Piano Island, Burn, Crimes, and Young Machetes. Having moved on to other projects as diverse as Jaguar Love, Past Lives, Fleet Foxes and Head Wound City, The Blood Brothers called it quits at their creative peak, leaving behind a catalog that helped define a genre and continues to influence bands around the world.
