The Blood Brothers are an experimental hardcore band formed in Seattle, Washington, USA in 1997. Their music combines influences from hardcore bands like Orchid and Refused with the experimental edge of bands like Angel Hair and Drive Like Jehu, with a strong emphasis on abstract lyrics that are rich with distored, surrealistic imagery. Members are: Jordan Blilie (vocals), Johnny Whitney (vocals), and Morgan Henderson (bass), along with Waxwing's Cody Votolato (guitar) and Mark Gajadhar (drums).
The band is considered unusual in that it has two dedicated lead vocalists. In addition to this, Cody and Morgan perform back-up vocals. Recent albums (...Burn, Piano Island, Burn and especially Crimes) have featured a degree of experimental instrumentation: Morgan often deviates from bass to add a second guitar or synthesiser, and also utilizes laptop technology. Johnny has added piano/wurlitzer to many more songs, a process which actually began on "Time for Tenderness" from This Adultery Is Ripe. He has claimed he always wanted to incorporate such instruments into the Blood Brothers' sound, but only on signing with a major label prior to ...Burn, Piano Island, Burn did he have the means to do this.
