Past Lives

A few weeks ago, we were introduced to Jaguar Love, a new band featuring ex-members of Blood Brothers and Pretty Girls Make Graves. This week, let’s all give a big welcome to Past Lives. Ex-BBs Jordan Blilie, Morgan Henderson and Mark Gajadhar have joined up with Devin Welch, who formerly played guitar for Shoplifting, with great results. I would say this is definitely the better of the two post-Blood Brothers projects. The band utilizes a tinny, semi-metallic production sound and dissonant post-punk construction that reminds me an awful lot of the late, great VSS, but that’s not a bad thing at all. Check out songs on their MySpace page and buy their album here (its proper release is November 4th through Suicide Squeeze).
