THE BLOOD
BROTHERS’
“JUNGLE RULES
LIVE” DVD RELEASE SET
Los Angeles, CA – January 25, 2003 -- Avant-hardcore band THE BLOOD BROTHERS will bring their abrasive, passionate, and engrossing brand of punk music to DVD on February 4, 2003 when they release Jungle Rules Live. Filmed on September 27, 2002 in front of a packed and rabid hometown audience at the ten-year anniversary of the Old Fire House, the band’s local teen center in Seattle, Jungle Rules Live encapsulates the fiery intensity that makes The Blood Brothers so compelling and unique.
To fully experience The Blood Brothers, you must see them live in concert. As Jason Pettigrew, Editor-in-Chief of Alternative Press recently commented, “Anybody who does not revel in the majesty that is The Blood Brothers is not to be trusted. They were so good [last night], I shed tears.”
Jungle Rules Live features eleven live-in-concert tracks, as well as three audio-only bonus tracks – “Ambulance vs. Ambulance” and “USA Nails” from the band’s im recordings/ARTISTdirect Records debut Burn Piano Island, Burn, and “Meet Me at the Water Front After the Social” from the band’s recent indie release, March On Electric Children.
The Jungle Rules Live DVD precedes Burn Piano Island, Burn which is scheduled for release on March 18, 2003. The Blood Brothers have built an ever-growing buzz by spending the past year touring steadily with bands like Glassjaw, Pretty Girls Make Graves, Cadillac Blindside, and most recently The Used. The Blood Brothers will kick off a headline tour on January 31, and a co-headline tour with Milemarker beginning mid-February. Already, and not surprisingly, the media have wholeheartedly embraced The Blood Brothers:
“If this is the sound
of youth decaying, then stick a dead teenager in my ear.”
-- The Village Voice
“Utterly deranged. But deeply, deeply compelling. The Blood Brothers are like nothing else in 2002.”
-- NME
“It’s an exciting time for the Blood Brothers. Right now. Before the industry heavies put their heads back up their Kenneth Cole asses and close their bank accounts to riskier bands. With the Blood Brothers, we have a truly original act in our midst and it’s a good thing that bigger names are taking notice.”
-- Seattle’s The Stranger
