Style

The band has been described as experimental, punk, hardcore, and post-hardcore, among many others, although their true style is a combination of several genres and is harder to pin down. In small circle discussions, the band related that they have influences from the No Wave punk scene of the 1980's. The band makes wide use of various punk/hardcore vocal styles (i.e. screaming) and instrumentation (i.e., fast drumming and power chords). The style of guitar playing showcased by Votolato has greatly changed over time, most notably between the heavy, dischordant sound of ...Burn, Piano Island, Burn and the minimalist lead lines of Crimes, where the energy of the drums and vocals tends to make up for the lack of thick distortion. Whitney's voice is generally accepted to have evolved from the slurred, venomous drawl on This Adultery Is Ripe to the high-pitched squeals ("like a child being tortured [2]") heard on Crimes, while Blilie's voice has maintained the same low, robust ferocity throughout. The band has cited Botch, Drive Like Jehu, Gang of Four, Angel Hair, Highway 61, True North, and Bootsy Collins as influences. Currently, members of The Blood Brothers are in sideprojects Neon Blonde and Head Wound City, the latter also featuring members of The Locust and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Whitney performed vocals for the now defunct Soiled Doves (And before that for The Vogue).
