Several Blood Brothers Resurface In Past Lives

Alternative Press - Jason Pettigrew on 12/10/07 @ 12:12 PM - altpress.com

The Blood Brothers, Seattle's finest immolators of the punk blueprint, have called it a day. But spit-shine those black clouds: Former Bloods Jordan Blilie (singer), Morgan Henderson (bass/synthesizer) and Mark Gajadhar (drums) have teamed up with Shoplifting guitarist Devin Welch for a new unit called Past Lives. The band are working on songs as you read this-or not. They claim to have a MySpace page, but I'll be damned if I can find it. And if you missed it a year ago, here are the Bloods beating the hell out of the Jimmy Kimmel Live studio audience with "Teen Heat."

We are currently preparing to go out on the road in 2008 in support of our current release Monument, while also showcasing the new material that we have written for our first Prosthetic release. The new songs have really helped us solidify our signature sound, so expect to hear more evolved, face melting instrumental jams from Scale The Summit!"
