Cecilia And The Silhouette Saloon ~ The Blood Brothers (Punk)   Album Notes and Credits Notes & Personnel Info This CD includes the "Love Rhymes With Hideous Car Wreck" music video. This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Seattle's the Blood Brothers merge punk, hardcore, alternative metal, and emo with an arty, hipster flair. The nine tracks on the LOVE RHYMES WITH HIDEOUS CAR WRECK EP capitalize on the Brothers' cacophonous, freaky aesthetic to excellent effect. With their mix of moody, atmospheric passages, bone-crushing aggression, and double-vocal attack (one mid-range and the other pitched creepily high), the band has an undeniably unique sound, and LOVE RHYMES, which includes new tracks, remixes, live material, and alternate versions, is a great place to sample it. While at work in the studio on the follow-up to Crimes, the Blood Brothers issued the Love Rhymes with Hideous Car Wreck EP. Using one of Crimes' most accessible tracks as its centerpiece, the EP finds the band once again walking their fine -- but very jagged -- line between anarchic hardcore and flamboyant pop hooks. The album and live versions of "Love Rhymes with Hideous Car Wreck" bookend the set, and the song's mix of rattling percussion, almost-pretty keyboard melodies, and thick, noisy breakdowns (not to mention Johnny Whitney's nails-on-a-chalkboard screech) sound just as asymmetrical and weirdly poppy as ever. A more dynamic take of "Peacock Skeleton with Crushed Feathers," with guest vocals courtesy of A Gun Called Tension's Sean Reveron, and a stripped-down take of "Crimes" flesh out the EP, along with Mike Ott's video for the title track. Die-hard fans will want this for the two new tracks, the hyper-serrated "Ladies and Gentlemen" and murky, brooding "Metronomes," as well as the Blood Brothers remix of the Return the Gift version of Gang of Four's "Anthrax," which snaps the song's angular backbone and reshapes it into stuttering noise-punk. ~ Heather Phares Musical Guests Sean Reveron   Compilation Appearances Dynamite With A Laser Beam   Associated Artists and Works Crimes ~ Kamelot The Black Halo ~ Kamelot Kamelot Kamelot Kamelot Kamelot Kamelot Kamelot Crimes [2-CD] ~ Kamelot   Technical Info Release Date : 05/23/2006 Original Release Date : 2005 Catalog ID : 27314 Label : V2 Records (USA) Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00638812731425    Related Videos In Search of Solid Ground...
