The Blood Brothers
Burn Piano Island, Burn
(BMG, 2003)

Oh, boy! The Blood Brothers sure came into their own with Burn Piano Island, Burn! The summit of their bloody, brotherly careers, Burn Piano Island exhibited all the best things about the band: their razor sharp guitar swirls, their dual vocal shrapnel, their experimental pop leanings (gotta love those choruses) and their ability to break down into the most tightly chaotic bursts of hardcore art noise. The Blood Brothers are the anomaly of the oft maligned screamo genre and the champions of progressing punk music in a decade where the genre seemed to be losing its edge.
