Album Notes Seattle post-hardcore outfit the Blood Brothers wear their musical hearts on their sleeves. Railing against mainstream society with their frenetic, experimental punk sound, the Blood Brothers embrace musical radicalism at its most extreme. On their sixth album YOUNG MACHETES, they match blistering sheets of guitar abrasion with bellicose shrieks to disarmingly powerful effect. At times, though, YOUNG MACHETES incorporates odd moments of nearly pop-like accessibility--bouncy keyboard lines and melodic hooks--offering a lighthearted respite from all the aggression.
Industry Reviews Only time will accord the Bloods with the same kind of reverence given to such old-school avatars as Gang Of Four, Wire and Public Image Ltd. Wait and see.
3 stars out of 5 -- [T]heatrical an unhinged, sometimes more reminiscent of the deranged skronk of Pussy Galore or TROUT MASK REPLICA played at 45rpm, than any more conventional rock document.
Much of it hearkens back to their spazz-core roots, while other tracks find a way to square falsetto prog rock with screamo frenzy.
