The Blood Brothers (band)
The Blood Brothers was a hardcore punk band from Seattle, USA, which was founded in 1997 and officially separated on 8 November 2007. Due to the partly experimental music, the band is also allocated to the genre of post-hardcore and compared frequently with groups like At the Drive - In and Refused. Stylistically striking was in particular the interaction of the two Hauptvokalisten that significantly differed mainly in pitch.
