Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

Howl - 20th Anniversary Edition

Ok, the follow-up to their incredible debut did dilute things somewhat, but this record re-instated BRMC as one of the best bands around. What’s so exciting is that, in places, they're barely recognisable! Well there's doomy Hammond that does recall Spiritualized, but for the most part this is an acoustic, folk/country/blues record. It's just as powerful and dynamic as their old sound and has a newfound lyrical honesty which simply increases their authenticity. Swapping reverb, buzzing JAMC vibes for the raw sincerity of Dylan (or even Cash) has definitely paid off.

This 20th anniversary edition was remastered at Abbey Road Studios.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

Live At Levitation

In the early 2000s, San Francisco's Black Rebel Motorcycle Club were part of a vanguard of acts spearheading a garage rock revival - each a beacon of the staying power of gritty guitar music: The White Stripes and Dirtbombs in Detroit, The Kills in London, The Strokes and Interpol in New York, The Raveonettes in Copenhagen - the list goes on. Each made their mark, and BRMC’s take on rock and roll in the 20th century was particularly alluring - dark and atmospheric, their debut LP took them immediately out of the underground and onto stages worldwide, bringing their rock and roll manifesto to a new generation of music fans and artists.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

Take Them On, On Your Own

The second album by BRMC sees them retain the moodiness and menace from their debut and crank it up another notch, the end result being (to wheel out the old cliche) 'none more black'. As with countless other bands, this lot eschew the sunny West Coast vibes of their native California in favour of a dark, rumbling, anglophile sound much indebted to the likes of My Bloody Valentine and the shoegazing movement of the early 1990s. Full of coruscating effected guitars, drone-like bass playing and vocals that fight to be heard on top, these 13 tracks consolidated their position as one of the best, most passionate, not to mention loudest, bands in the world, back when it was originally released in 2003.

STAFF COMMENTS

Mine says: Black Rebel Motorcycle Club have played a big part in my life in the past 10+ years and although I must admit that they seem to have lost their edge a little bit I still call them my favourite band. Their first album 'B.R.M.C.' is probably just as good, if not better, than 'TTO,OYO', but the latter is my personal favourite and far too underrated. It is also the only record that has earned itself a place on my wall.
