The Blood Brothers classic 2003 albumBurn, Piano Island, Burngets a 20th anniversary reissue with both the original LP and the Ambulance vs Ambulance 7 (b/w Pink Tarantulas), along with a 28-page booklet that includes a retrospective from the band written by Zachary Lipez, and an inner photo zine.

A defining document of 2000s post-hardcore,Burn, Piano Island, Burnis an album thats constantly in motion, whipping by at full speed but with weird, fidgety timing thats far from straightforward hardcore. Co-vocalists Jordan Blilie and Johnny Whitneys voices are constantly bouncing off each other and flying in different directions. Produced by Ross Robinson (whose rsum includes other 2000s post-hardcore classicsRelationship of Commandby At the Drive-In andWorship and Tributeby Glassjaw, along with several nu metal albums),Burn, Piano Island, Burnwas a huge leap from the rougher Blood Brothers material that preceded it, but not nearly as polished or pop-oriented as what came after. As Henry Rollins once put it, What a great fucking racket these guys make.
