The Blood Brothers Call it Quits : 10 Years of Awesome : Let’s All Take a Moment of Silence Now

… OR NOT. Let’s all scream, because that’s what these fellas do best. I know this news is very 3 days ago in the blogosphere, but it’s taken awhile for it to sink in at Punkphoto. See, we LOVE the Blood Brothers. They were my very first full page spread (Shout out to Alternative Press!). In fact, the reason I saw the Rakes for the first time was because I was camped out at NorthSix for Neon Blonde’s NYC debut. I braved a WSOU Christmas show in New Jersey for them. We’ll just add them to the list as another tragic V2 casualty. They will live on in the aforementioned Neon Blonde and Jaguar Love (now on tour w/ QotSA, they’ll be fine)…. and for old time’s sake, here is the best break up song this side of 2004:

Dear Friends,

After 10 years of making music as The Blood Brothers, we have made the collective decision that our time together has come to an end. We feel extremely fortunate to have spent such a deeply memorable and amazing part of our lives with each other. At this point, however, we feel it’s best that our futures move forward on separate paths. We’d like to express our sincerest thanks and gratitude to all the bands we’ve played with, individuals who have helped us make our records, and fans who have come to our shows and picked up our music throughout the years. Your friendship, support and love hold such a profoundly special place in each of our hearts. We hope that the memories you attach to our music are as fond as those you have given us. Thank you and take care, we’ll miss all of you.

Love,
The Blood Brothers
