Blood For Blood
Livin’ in Exile (Victory)
by Tim Den
Another slab of self-righteousness that this band claims to be the enemy of. Blood For Blood pride themselves on being “the enemy of all you hold dear” and the middle finger in society’s face, but what they don’t realize is that their preaching of hatred is the same kind of prejudice that they are supposed to be against. Crying “fuck you”s to everyone but their kind, I wonder how Blood For Blood can’t hear the echo of their own anthems in the way mainstream society’s treated them. Yes, it’s true that wanna-be gangsta white kids from the suburbs and rich college yuppies need to be taught some harsh lessons in life. Yes, it’s true that Blood For Blood has every right to be proud of their rough background and be mad at the fucks who’ve kept them down. But hating back the same way those fucks hated the “outcasts and outlaws” that Blood For Blood claim to be doesn’t make the outcasts any better than the mainstream stiffs. The establishment judged you and ousted you based on ignorance, so now you’re going to be just as dumb as they are? Come on, I know you guys are better than that. Fuck the system and the way it alienates anyone different from them. Don’t copy their blind prejudice.
