Recently receiving two honorable mention awards in BILLBOARD'S World Song competition THE APPLE BROS. have the songs and sounds to deliver. .
Weened on everything from classic rock & Stax soul to outlaw country & The Ramones, THE APPLE BROS’ blend a Replacements’-like alternative sound with an Americana flavor and sentiment. Having recorded with some rock & blues greats like Benmont Tench (Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers) & Sonny Landreth, they’ve learned to craft emotional yet powerful songs driven by passion, and often times, desperation. .
Born originally as a NYC duo James & Lou (the brothers) keep expanding their sound as well as their members. Recent additions of Joel Cannon on guitar and Ben Toro on bass, both from fellow New York band The Everyothers, have added a depth & tastefulness to their gritty, guitar driven songs. Their tunes run the gamut from the fist in your face, riff-ridden, rock anthem of “Beautiful World” to the twanging, Birds-esque sounds of “Who Have I To Blame.” .
They've supported such acts as The Zac Brown Band, Cat Power, The BottleRockets, Marah, Cheap Trick, Noel Redding, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, The Flying Nuetrinos, Junior Brown and Question Marc. .
THE APPLE BROS. release EXTENDED PLAY features "The Light's Still On" (H.M. Award winner in BILLBOARD'S 2008 World Song Competition) & "Long Enough To Pretend" from the motion picture “CLIVE BARKER'S The Plague.” Previous releases also available from THE APPLE BROS. are ON AN EMPTY STOMACH and NASHVILLE available on iTunes. .

Bad Blood
The Apple Bros Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who went and bit off a little bit more than he could chew
You said that you had it made, but you been had
The woman no good, no how, thinkin' maybe the blood is bad
Bad (ba-a-ad) blood (blo-o-od)
The woman was born to lie
Makes promises she can't keep
Bad (ba-a-ad) blood (blo-o-od)
Brother, you've been deceived
It's bound to change you mind
About all you believe
From where I stand, it looks mighty strange
How you let a woman like that treat you like small change
I don't understand what you're lookin' to find
The only thing bad blood do is mess up a good man's mind
Hear me talkin' now
Bad (ba-a-ad) blood (blo-o-od)
The bitch is in her smile
The lie is on her lips
Such an evil child
Bad (ba-a-ad) blood (blo-o-od)
Is takin' you for a ride
The only thing good about bad blood
Is lettin' it slide
Doo-ron, doo-ron, di di, dit, dit, ron-ron
Doo-ron, doo-ron, di di, dit, dit, ron-ron
Doo-ron, doo-ron, di di, dit, dit, ron-ron
Bad blood, talkin' 'bout bad blood
Doo-ron, doo-ron, di di, dit, dit, ron-ron
Doo-ron, doo-ron, di di, dit, dit, ron-ron
Doo-ron, doo-ron, di di, dit, dit, ron-ron
Bad blood
Here we go
Bad (ba-a-ad) blood (blo-o-od)
The bitch is in her smile
The lie is on her lips
Such an evil child
Bad (ba-a-ad) blood (blo-o-od)
Is takin' you for a ride
The only thing good about bad blood
Is lettin' it slide
The only thing good about bad blood
Is lettin' it slide
The Apple Bros's song Bad Blood is about a man who has been deceived by a woman he thought he could trust. The singer of the song says that it could have been him in that situation, but it happened to his friend instead. His friend had thought he had everything under control and the woman he was with was no good, but he didn't listen to anyone's warnings. The woman has bad blood, she was born to lie, and she makes promises she can't keep. The singer tries to tell his friend that he has been deceived, but his friend is too blinded by love to see it. The only thing that bad blood does is mess up a good man's mind. The song's chorus emphasizes this point, repeating the phrase "bad blood" multiple times.
The verses of the song use imagery to describe the woman's deceit. She has a smile that is like a disguise, and a lie on her lips. The singer calls her an evil child, using childlike language to emphasize her immaturity and untrustworthiness. The woman is taking his friend for a ride, leading him astray from what he previously believed. Ultimately, the only way to cope with bad blood is to let it slide and move on.
The song is a cautionary tale about the dangers of being deceived by someone you trust. It warns against allowing love to blind you to the truth, and encourages you to take action to protect yourself.

Bad (ba-a-ad) blood (blo-o-od)
A bad situation caused by someone else
The woman was born to lie
The woman is a habitual liar
Makes promises she can't keep
She promises things she can't deliver
With the wink on an eye
She tries to charm and deceive others
Brother, you've been deceived
You've been tricked, fooled and taken advantage of
It's bound to change you mind
It will make you think twice before trusting someone again
About all you believe
About everything you believed was true
From where I stand, it looks mighty strange
It seems odd from my point of view
How you let a woman like that treat you like small change
How could you let someone treat you so poorly?
I don't understand what you're lookin' to find
I don't understand what you hope to gain
The only thing bad blood do is mess up a good man's mind
Bad situations can cause a lot of damage to a person's mental well-being
The bitch is in her smile
She may look good, but it's all a facade
The lie is on her lips
She talks about things that are not true
Such an evil child
She is deceitful and wicked
Is takin' you for a ride
She is manipulating and taking advantage of you
The only thing good about bad blood
The only positive thing to do is to move on
Is lettin' it slide
Is to not let it affect you anymore
