The Bloodtypes

The Bloodtypes burst from the heart of the dripping Pacific Nortwest back in the distant year of 2010 when German expat babe Schneck Tourniquet teamed up with three Portland punkrock veterans. Their mission: keep new-wave fun alive in a scene that had become tiresome bearded urban folk (or whatever). What better antidote than a high-concept dress up band, delivering songs about nuclear catastrophes, dangerously sexy nurses, exploding suns and …cats? Read more on Last.fm …read full bio

The Bloodtypes burst from the heart of the dripping Pacific Nortwest back in the distant year of 2010 when German expat babe Schneck Tourniquet teamed up with three Portland punkrock veterans. Their mission: keep new-wave fun alive in a scene that had become tiresome bearded urban folk (or whatever). What better antidote than a high-concept dress up band, delivering songs about nuclear catastrophes, dangerously sexy nurses, exploding suns and …cats? After countless local shows and tours up and down the westcoast and having honed their sound to surgical perfection, the Bloodtypes were ready to record their sound for posterity. The 12 tracks on their crowd-sourced debut album “Just Your Type” perfectly document their evolution as a band. From the garage-hit “Affected”, via the hilarious “Katz R Punx” to the epic grandeur of “Just Your Type” and “Radiation Sickness”, each tune dares you not to pogo-dance around your room. Don’t even try to resist. There is no point. Having up to this point financed, crowd-sourced and promoted their work in the true DIY ethos, the Bloodtypes came to the attention of the European label P.Trash in late 2012. P.Trash released their debut album on vinyl and CD in Europe in the fall of 2013, where it has been garnering interest and positive reviews. Unwilling to rest on their laurels, the Bloodtypes released a 7″ entitled “Johnny” on the new Seattle label Bomb Pop Records on Halloween of 2013 followed by a record release tour of the western US. The next big step for the Bloodtypes is their upcoming European tour in March/April 2014, which marks a return to the homeland for Schneck and a trip full of unknown adventures for I.V., Jesse and Matt. Always writing, new songs are in the works and will be tried out on willing and unwilling audiences alike with loose plans of releasing a second full-length in late 2014/early 2015. The Bloodtypes are: Schneck Tourniquet – vocals and keys I.V. Frehley – guitar and vocals Jesse B Negative – bass and vocals Matt O Dermic – drums Read more on Last.fm.
