The Blood Brothers - There is also the musical Blood Brothers.
The Blood Brothers are a rock band formed in Seattle, Washington, USA in 1997. Members are Jordan Blilie (vocals), Johnny Whitney (vocals), and Morgan Henderson (bass), along with Waxwing's Cody Votolato (guitar) and Mark Gajadhar (drums). Line-Up The band is considered unusal in that it has two dedicated lead vocalists. In addition to this Cody and Morgan perform back-up vocals. Recent albums (...Burn, Piano Island, Burn and especially Crimes) have featured a degree of experimentation instrumentally: Morgan often deviates from bass to add a second guitar or synthesiser, and also utilises laptop technology. Johnny has added piano/wurlitzer to many more songs, a process which actually begun on Time for Tenderness from This Adultery Is Ripe. He has claimed he always wanted to incorporate such instruments into the Blood Brothers' sound, but only on signing with a major label prior to ...Burn, Piano Island, Burn did he have the means to do this. http://www.dot-alt.com/bloodbrothers_int.html Style The genre the band fall into has been described as punk, hardcore, post-hardcore, and even extremo. What is certain is that they make wide use of loud, intense vocal styles (often sceaming) and punk/hardcore instrumentation (i.e. fast drumming and plentiful power chords). The two singers mean that the vocals are often the focal point of songs, although this is not to say any of the other instruments are neglected in any way. Blilie and Whitney's voices often overlap in the same way one might expect rhythm and lead guitars to, one repeating a signature line/chrous while the other adds a lead motif. The two vocalists contrast each other to good effect: Whitney's voice is generally accepted to have evolved from the slurred, venomous drawl on This Adultery Is Ripe to the insanely high-pitched squeals ("like a child being tortured http://www.punknews.org/article.php?sid=10623&mode=thread&order=0" heard on Crimes, while Blilie's has maintained the same low, robust ferocity throughout, and the juxtaposition of screams stands out in many songs.
