Young Machetes is the fifth and final studio album by the American post-hardcore band The Blood Brothers, which was released October 10, 2006. Lyrically, the album "remains firmly rooted in the surreal consciousness, rage and oblique politics the Blood Brothers have always embraced. It also reveals a new, once-bitten wisdom." Heather Phares of Allmusic said of the album:

... the Blood Brothers find sneakier ways of incorporating their twisted pop skills into the fray. There's no denying the hooks on "Rat Rider" nor the jaunty keyboards on "Laser Life," while "Camouflage, Camouflage"'s breakdown recalls the noise-meets-glam-rock flair of Johnny Whitney and Mark Gajadhar's side project, Neon Blonde. Nevertheless, Young Machetes' more challenging tracks are some of the most satisfying ...
