Blood is a band based in Philadelphia whose beginnings can be traced to lead singer Tim O'Brien's Austin bedroom. After years of performing poetry and singing in experimental projects, Tim took to the bedroom with the sole intention of making a tape for his best friend. Following several lineup changes from the band's initial iteration, the current core consists of Appleton's own Tyler Wolff(Drums), brothers Julian and Benjamin McCamman-McGinnis (Guitars), Austin music mainstay Nino Soberon (Bass), and Connecticuter Zachary Mallet (Synth, horns). Beginning in late 2018, the current iteration of Blood had become a constant in the bijou punk scene of the southern music capital.

Considered a must see live act by Austin music goers, Blood consistently shirks genre while at all times operating in a state of unshakable urgency. The band considers themselves to be one of many telling the drawn out, ultimately lonely, sad story of pop music in an ending world.
