Evil Island have signed with Blowed Out Records and will be releasing their debut single, “Tiger Baby“, on April 15th. A 7” single for that track is also currently available and will serve as the first chance to hear the b-side track, “King Death“. Evil Island sports a trio of members from post-hardcore/screamo outfit The Blood Brothers, including Johnny Whitney (vocals), guitarist/vocalist Cody Votolato and drummer Mark Gajadhar. Autry Fulbright (OFF!, ex-…And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, etc.) rounds out the roster on bass.
Given The Blood Brothers‘ close ties to producer Ross Robinson (Korn, Slipknot), this new union with Blowed Out Records isn’t a surprising turn. Robinson is a co-founded that label alongside Ghostemane and Bill Armstrong. Votolato commented:
“Ross Robinson came to my surprise birthday party last May 2025. I mentioned Evil Island and he instantly said ‘Fuck yes, let’s make a record.’ By October we were in the studio and signed to Blowed Out Records. Now on April 15th, 2026 we are releasing our first single ‘Tiger Baby‘ with a limited press of 300 copies on 7″. It will include our second single that you can only hear early on the 7″ at first. We are super proud of it and it’s now available for preorder!”
Robinson added:
“This is a record I’ve wanted to make for way too long, ever since signing and producing The Blood Brothers ‘Burn Piano Island, Burn‘ .. I feel Evil Island is the coolest fucking band on earth and dare anyone to step up to the unleashing fire these guys throw down- they’re the king of kings .. I can’t believe we got to make this thing, it’s an artistic/emotionally violent dream come true for me!”
