Reports on the internet are suggesting that Seattle-spawned punk quintet The Blood Brothers - much admired by a number of DiS staffers - have split up.
No official word can yet be found, save for a comment made on the Three One G forum by label founder/Locust member Justin Pearson - The Blood Brothers have released through the label and members have collaborated with Pearson in Head Wound City.
Pearson simply writes: "the blood bros broke up". Frank, to the point. Painful.
No comments have yet been left by the band on their MySpace page, here, although a number of fans have expressed their desire for confirmation of the split from The Blood Brothers themselves.
The band's last album, Young Machetes, was released domestically by Wichita and is reviewed (9/10) here.
More official news when we get it. Check out the videos below and have a little dance in the meantime.

RIP Blood Brothers
Long live Jaguar Love
Sad day
Glad they got to release their best album before they split.
i thought they broke up years ago
and then they played reading festival that year
so i have no idea what to think
IM IN LIMBO
I think this is a lie.
I hope this is a lie.
Aw man :(
at least they ended on a high
with young machetes (also hoe neon blonde still carry on - 'black cactus killer' is unreeeeeaaaal)
I'm refusing to believe this
NO
NO NO NO
I hope...
that its not true :(
nooooooo
this is shit news,
my absolute favorite band!
first hot cross and now blood brothers,
what a shit year!
at least there gonna be some KICK ARSE new projects to look forward to!
a jaguar love album would be nice,
head wound city should become a permenent fixture!
some girls are over as well.
fact.
yeah
i thought it was kind of interesting considering their link with head wound city
:'(
:'( :'(
THAT COULD GO ON FOR DAYS:'(
Really hope not
though I suppose they've done all they can do; released some fucking amazing, innovative and influential albums.
They're probably as big as they'll ever be and I spose that sooner or later that much talent feels like it needs rewarding. If it's true then we can expect some fucking awesome new groups.
