Editor's note

Blood For Blood, Boston's raw hardcore constant

A Boston hardcore band that stuck to its gritty, unpolished sound for nearly two decades.

For a sense of their template, try 'Ain't Like You (Wasted Youth II)' or 'Eulogy For A Dream'. They're both pretty straightforward and show what the band did.

They mattered because they never softened or chased trends, just delivered blunt hardcore with songs like 'Ain't Like You (Wasted Youth II)' and 'Eulogy For A Dream'. Their influence is mostly in hardcore circles where that consistency still counts. They were a reliable, rough-edged presence in the scene.

They formed in Boston in 1991 and put out albums like 'Emotional Vampires' in 1996 and 'Vice Grip' in 2009. The lineup shifted, but vocalist Brian McTigue stayed through most of it, and the sound stayed within hardcore territory, sometimes borrowing from metal.

Archive material and source history

Blood For Blood formed in Boston in 1991, playing hardcore punk with a raw, unpolished edge. Their track 'Nothing For You' became one of their better-known songs, built around straightforward riffs and direct vocals. The band's lineup shifted over time, with vocalist Brian McTigue staying through most of it.

They put out albums like 'Emotional Vampires' in 1996, 'Spit My Last Breath' in 2000, and 'Vice Grip' in 2009. The music stayed within hardcore territory, sometimes borrowing from metal, without much fuss about evolution. Songs like 'Ain't Like You (Wasted Youth II)' and 'Can't Heal' kept to that template.

McTigue dealt with addiction issues, and bassist Ian McFarland had an assault arrest, which were part of the band's story but didn't stop them from recording and playing shows. Their lyrics could be blunt, which drew some criticism, but they never really courted mainstream approval.

Blood For Blood's influence is mostly felt in hardcore circles, where their no-frills approach and songs like 'Eulogy For A Dream' and 'A Post Card from the Edge' still get played. They weren't innovators so much as a consistent, gritty presence in the scene.
