May 12–Blood on the Wall plus Bones
“Liferz unequivocally proves that Blood On The Wall may slice and dice the holy scripture of 90s indie rock, but in a way that’s more orthodox than heresy. Blood On The Wall stick to their guns, laughing in the faces of the indie gods by blasting another faux-Pixies song dangerously into the red. Excuse them for being irreverent: They’re just punking their touchstones the same way those bands did to their own 20 years ago.”–Pitchfork
“A more intense, more perfect vision of Blood On The Wall’s old sound. Styles may change, but it seems the Shankses will never give up loud, nervous and rabidly unpretentious gutter rock.” –Time Out New York
Blood on the Wall is a lo-fi, Brooklyn-based indie rock band, influenced by bands like The Jesus and Mary Chain, Pavement, Pixies, and Sonic Youth. The band toured with Yeah Yeah Yeahs in 2006.
Blood On The Wall formed in 2001 when Courtney Shanks convinced her brother, Brad Shanks to move from Lawrence, KS to Brooklyn with the intention of starting a band with veteran drummer Miggie Littleton. The three began playing around the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn. They released Liferz this year
