Bands have a tendency to share band members from time to time and as a result it is not difficult to construct a simple "family tree" based upon the interrelationship of band members. We at BandToBand.com decided to find out how large this extended tree is. Every band in our list is connected to every other band based upon this family tree principle.

Here's a simple example of what we're talking about. Note that you can find further information on each band or artist by clicking on the album cover, the band name, the album title, or the artist name:
