Blood For Blood

artist.totalReleases

Blood For Blood is a "Punk Rock Hard Core Rock N' Roll" band from Boston, Massachusetts, USA, formed in 1994 by Erick "Buddha" Medina and "White Trash" Rob Lind drawing inspiration from the hardcore scene in Boston and New York. In 1997, they were signed to Victory Records. The band went on hiatus after the release of their 2004 mini-album "Serenity", but was resurrected in 2010 for a short period. Around this time Rob decided to step down from the touring line up to keep his newfound sobriety safe. Having been a heroin addict and alcoholic for many years he feared a relapse due to the stressful touring schedule. As tour replacment the band called upon Billy Graziadei from Biohazard to fill in on guitar duties in Lind's abscence. Erick "Buddha" Medina had to leave Blood For Blood in July 2012 due to an incident involving minors. Since then there has been no new recordings from the band, but Ian McFarland and Rob Lind have stated that if they do anything in the future it will not include Medina. The band has since been resurrected with Lind (but without Ian McFarland) on vocals and played some shows from time to time. In late 2025 Blood For Blood announced their full-time return, with a new label deal and new music in the works. Lineup: Rob Lind - guitar/vocals Pete Morcey - vocals Ian McFarland - bass Justin Legere - guitar Jamie Muckinhaupt - drums
