Blood for Blood is a hardcore band from Charlestown, Massachusetts. They formed in 1995 as a reaction to the existing heavy music scene in Boston. They are regarded as an extremely nihilistic and aggressive band. In 1997 they were signed to Victory Records. Their sound is heavily influenced by Sheer Terror, Breakdown, Carnivore, and Raw Deal.
"Young Americans" controversy
In mid-2006, Blood for Blood's song "Ain't Like You (Wasted Youth II)" was used as backing music for a trailer for the pro-war documentary, "Young Americans" , made by Pat Dollard and U.S. Marines in Iraq. The trailer featured numerous images of anti-war protesters and icons, at which the song's aggressive message seemed targeted. However, Rob Lind is known to be a vocally against war, as evidenced in his band Ramallah.
Trivia
The band's iconic logo of a sketchy skull and crossbones with a teardrop of blood was drawn by Sean Bonner in 1997.
