Free Music Notes for Young Machetes

Free Music Review: the Best Cd of 2006 without a doubt.
Hit: 5 Stars

Being a Seattle native, I grew up on the Blood Brothers. I went to school with Johnny and worked at venues in Seattle, mainly the Graceland aka El Corazon.

It has been amazing to see their career bloom. Unfortunate that 'Young Machetes' was their last album, but in my personal opinion, I think it's safe to say it's their most ambitious album to date.

In early 2006 Seattle natives got previews of several songs like 'Set Fire to the Face on Fire' 'We Ride Skeletal Lightning' 'Vital Beach' and 'Rat Rider' and I was just thrilled. Even though I often hear fellow fans say, they completely changed, blah blah BLAH. Who cares? Are you the same kid you were three, six, nine years ago?

I also hear fellow fans complain about this record saying that Jordan didn't sing as much (Jordan is the more manly sounding vocalist) and saying that there was too much Johnny (obviously the, "Is that a girl singing?" vocalist). In a way they are right, but Jordan still sings just as much. I think it's pretty even.

the Blood Brothers are for open minded people period. If you have never heard them, they're a really spastic branch of music that was once considered art-punk, but trying to categorize them off of this LP, I would just call them by their name.

They fuse a lot of different instruments and styles together, my favorite part of the Blood Brothers has always been the piano. Their lyrics are usually a a ____ed up painting of society and their views on the world. First listener will probably have a hard time understanding a lot of their lyrics, namingly 'Youre the Dream Unicorn!' which older fans should really take a liking to with it's extremely fast paced screeching vocals, manic drum beats and punky guitars.

This album mashes the best parts of 2004's 'Crimes' and 2003's 'Burn Piano Island, Burn!' and takes their musicianship to a bigger horizon. They deffinately experimented with their vocal capabilities instead of screaming constantly, using different melodies with their bandmates music to compliment the expansion.

personal favorite tracks:
We Ride Skeletal Lightning
You're the Dream, Unicorn!
Spit Shine Your Blacks Clouds
Lift the Veil, Kiss the Tank
Huge Gold AK-47
Giant Swan

This album shouldn't disappoint true Blood Brothers fans, never heard the band, you've probably heard of them because you listen to something that wouldn't be considered radio friendly or normal, so open your mind and give 'Young Machetes' a listen.

Young Machetes Poster

If you think the cover art is scary, wait until you get a load of the music. The fifth album by the Blood Brothers steps up the intensity of its predecessor, 2004's Crimes, with even more rapid-fire rhythms, thrashing guitars, and acerbic screaming. Imagine the Mars Volta undergoing electroshock treatment or Blonde Redhead at war with an army of feral cats. With Young Machetes, the Seattle punk group comes out swinging on "Set Fire to the Face on Fire," a song that does not fail to live up to its evocative title, and follows through with more rumbling, tightly wound free poetry on tracks like "We Ride Skeletal Lightning" and, yes, "You're the Dream Unicorn!" Unlistenable noise to 99.781921 percent of the record-buying public. Album of the year material for the rest. - Aidin Vaziri
