Early favorites of the Scene Point Blank staff back in the early 2000s, The Blood Brothers will soon reissue Crimes, initially released in 2004. Epitaph is handling the reissue, which will be followed by the band's first tour in 10 years, with Smartpunk also selling a limited version.

The reissue will release on Oct. 4, pressed on limited edition vinyl as an expanded double LP with b-sides, etching, and extensive liner notes.

The group was primarily active from 1997-2007, releasing five LPs in that time.
