Blood for Blood

Livin’ in Exile

Victory

Boston’s answer to NY’s Sheer Terror. They have some seriously large men in this band. Seriously, these guys could form their own wrestling league. I don’t think I could explain this band better than their manifesto inside the cover: “Blood for Blood does not write music for white picket fence gangsters from the ‘burbs or P.C. rich kids who have been afforded every luxury we’ll never have. Fuck you. Blood for Blood writes for all the real outcasts, outsiders and outlaws out there, whatever scene you are in. Fuck the rest of yous.” For real, these guys used “yous”! Working class hardcore for the large males out there.
