Making car wrecks, chaos and the apocalypse palatable for the masses.

  • We Say...

    With titles such as “Rats and Rats and Rats for Candy” and “My First Kiss at the Public Execution,” the Blood Brothers might as well have lived in the time of the Black Death. Life is a scream, quite literally, for these art-punks from the Seattle suburbs: Dueling frontmen Johnny Whitney and Jordan Blilie, who helped found the band when they were just 15, together sound like a bag of jackals. Crimes might be the band’s most accessible album, if songs about the end of the world, liquor-store robberies and “Trash Flavored Trash” can be considered any kind of compromise. On “Love Rhymes with Hideous Car Wreck,” Whitney’s demented falsetto is Prince on fire; the song, as Blood Brothers songs go, is practically demure. They may have gone on indefinite hiatus, but these young Brothers remain well-prepared for the “Apocalypse Cabaret.”
