The Blood Brothers Announce 20th Anniversary ‘Crimes’ Reissue Out October 4 Reuniting For First US Headlining Tour Since 2014

Today, Seattle’s venerable post-hardcore five piece The Blood Brothers are celebrating two decades of their seminal album ‘Crimes’ with a limited vinyl reissue out on October 4th and the announcement of their first shows in ten years.  

On the occasion, vocalist Jordan Blilie muses: “As we've been putting together the 20th anniversary reissue of ‘Crimes’, what I'm struck by most listening back is the energy. It feels both feral and weirdly focused, like whatever chemistry we'd been tinkering with had finally crystallized. It was on stage, though, where that energy reached its most joyful, reckless, collective state. It's an experience that never really goes away, and one we wanted to share again. So, we'll be playing a handful of shows this fall. We hope to see you there.”
