Jaguar Love is one of two bands that have sprung out of the 2007 break-up of experimental hardcore band The Blood Brothers (the other being Past Lives, comprising ex-singer Jordan Blilie, ex-drummer Mark Gajadhar, ex-bassist Morgan Henderson, and original Blood Brothers guitarist Devin Welch). In Jaguar Love, singer/pianist Johnny Whitney and guitarist Cody Votolato are ex-members of that band, and Pretty Girls Make Graves member Jay Clark was the drummer: Due to unforeseen differences, Jay Clark has left the band. As of Januay 21, 2008 the band has signed to the independent label Matador. The Blood Brothers’ music could be described as a schizophrenic split between raging hardcore punk and jagged art-punk with Surrealistic lyrics. The three bands that developed as side-projects during The Blood Brothers’ existence—Whitney’s experimental post-hardcore bands Soiled Doves & Neon Blonde and the band’s other lead vocalist Jordan Billie & Votolato’s hardcore/thrash band Head Wound City—illustrated this. Jaguar Love has so far shown many characteristics found in Whitney’s past side-projects, albeit there is no electronica influence as heard in Neon Blonde and the “spazzcore” elements of Soiled Doves have been relatively toned down. In favor of the chaotic sound for those bands is the feeling of a more fully-fleshed out band with more concentration on melody, a lyrical maturation, and traditional songwriting that stylishly culls influence from indie rock, art-punk, soul, post-hardcore, jazz-rock, and glam metal.

shitty beats with Johnny screaming. everyone is entitled to their opinion. i would much rather see the blood brothers or past lives live and i have. neon blonde is way better than jaguar love. i'm glad Johnny and Cody are happy with it though. let's all get along.

i do listen to past lives. i like how you are so rattled by some text on the internet. i listen to past lives all the time. i play that shit on my radio show. i realize the blood brothers have broken up. i'm not crying about it. i just think jaguar love is rubbish. the first album was rushed and as for the new songs we will see. i'll comment where i please. especially if it ruffles your feathers. go cry about it.

Stop complaining and go listen to Past Lives then, it's not very hard to press play on your Ipod
