Why I found out about this on Monday and just now remembered to post it is beyond me but Blake Schwarzenbach finally has a new band. That’s the same Blake that fronted Jawbreaker (one of my favorite bands ever) and Jets To Brazil. Yeah, I’m just as excited as you are. So the band (as if you haven’t already read about it everywhere) is called Thorns Of Life and features the mighty Aaron Cometbus (of Crimpshrine, Cleveland Bound Death Sentence, Shotwell, etc…) on drums and Daniela Sea (of The Gr’ups and The L Word) on bass. Blake has reportedly said “I can say only that it’s loud and tender and we’re called the Thorns Of Life. whether it’s more Jetsesque or Breaker-like I honestly don’t know; It sounds like a storehouse of fond hatred from the last few years and in the now.”
Thorns Of Life played their first shows last week and you can find more photos from them here, and videos of a few songs below.
Fuckin’ awesome.

Unbelivable, its about time. I was just looking up any updates Blake was doing. This is great news, I can’t wait for recorded music to be released. I can’t wait til they come to my part of the country.
