Somewhere between modern rock n roll and pop punk are the four Aacheners The Bloodstrings. Their unique sound has evolved from an initially horror punk and psychobilly band into a complex mesh of musical styles that the individual members really love. Some songs are reminiscent of punk bands such as The Distillers or Rancid, while others make use of rock n roll elements like their sister band The Creepshow or hard rock elements like those found in Thundermother or similar bands.

Their debut album "Coal-black Heart" from 2014 has already brought the Bloodstrings to stages across Europe and is currently in high demand on platforms such as Discogs, as it is sold out. In 2016, the Bloodstrings released individual singles such as the song "Tonight We Dine In Hell" before releasing their most successful album to date, "Born Sick", in 2017. In addition to a feature with Kitty In A Casket, this album was characterized above all by diversity from the styles of psychobilly, punk and hardcore. The lyrics were more personal, the sound darker. This brought the Bloodstrings to some major festivals, including the legendary Wacken Open Air in 2018. In 2019, they recorded four new singles, which also had political messages for the first time, followed by other festivals such as the Spirit Festival and Bloodstrings also initiated the "Boy Bands Suck" tour through Scandinavia, Germany and Belgium.

After touring most of Europe, the already well-connected Bloodstrings were planning their first foray into Canada, the US and Japan when the Covid-19 crisis brought tour life to a premature end, and in 2020 the Bloodstrings released three of their four singles, led by "Tik TikTik", currently their most-streamed single. During Covid-19, the Aacheners remained busy: 2021 also saw the release of their 10-inch EP "A Part" on SBÄM Records with the political single "German Angst" as a sign against racism and pro Refugees Welcome, which is already almost sold out.2022 sees a number of live dates to be repeated, including Blau Rock in Ulm, the Stangriede Festival in Hanover, the Seepogo Festival and various club shows.
