Band: Blood For Our Brothers
Genre: Metalcore / Deathcore
Q: Where did the band
name "Blood For Our Brothers" originate from?
The name Blood For
Our Brothers came from the bands idea of commitment. It represents our work
ethic, our sacrifices, our unity as a group, a band, as family, as friends and
most importantly, as brothers.
The name extends out
to our fans, friends and family as well. We like to treat EVERYONE as family,
which can either be a good or bad thing depending on your joke and prank
tolerance. Haha! Within the band, we LOVE to call each other names, play
practical jokes, and bring each other to our boiling points for the sake of
laughter. Imagine a metal "JACKASS." And that sibling horseplay, hard
work in the studio, and sweat we propel from the stage is the Blood For Our
Brothers.
Q: Your band has been around since 2008, why is your debut EP, And God Had Horns, coming out soon in 2013?
Q: Your band has been around since 2008, why is your debut EP, And God Had Horns, coming out soon in 2013?
Well the bands
original skeleton began way back in the day. We've released several small demos
and teasers over the years with past members and "fill-in" instrumentalists,
but this is the first time that we've locked in and solidified our line-up. We
embarked on this "...And God Had Horns" journey when we added our
last member Mario to the group in late 2011.
Q: How has playing
live been for you? A new experience?
Playing live is more
of a work out for us than anything else. Our rehearsals and group gatherings
consist mainly of unhealthy amounts of beer consumption and inhumanly pizza devourment.
Our post-show ritual is a box of Carne Asada Fries EACH so... live shows keep
our arteries happy.
Q: Which bands are a major influence on your music?
Q: Which bands are a major influence on your music?
I don't think any
band actually influences our music directly, I think it's more of the mash up
of each individual member's influence. Know what I mean? We each have our own
roots and major influences that contribute to what our brains tell our hands to
play. But if I made a list of each our favorite artists, it'd be System Of A
Down, KoRn, The Black Dahlia Murder, Lamb of God and Hendrix.
Q: Are there any other influences in your music, besides other bands? If so, what?
Q: Are there any other influences in your music, besides other bands? If so, what?
Yes, quite a bit
actually. The unknown and paranormal, ghost hunting, government conspiracies,
time travel, extra-terrestrial life, "Ancient Aliens," quantum
physics, interplanetary war, evolutionary theory, the fall of civilization,
inhumanity of our species, serial killers, blasphemy, religious bigots, food
and women.
Q: How is the "underground scene" in Los Angeles?
Q: How is the "underground scene" in Los Angeles?
We've noticed that
the Los Angeles underground scene has been and continues to become thicker with
what we like to call "Jammers." They're groups who play a show, break
up in a month, reform a new project with others, repeat, repeat. It's
unfortunate that so many guys are unable to hold it together but those groups
who do, the diamonds in the rough, are some of the HEAVIEST, GRIMMEST,
NASTIEST, MOST BRUTAL metal bands that we've had the privilege of sonically devastating
along side of.
Q: Any shout outs you would like to give?
