Now before giving the unbiased news, let me say that Howl is one of the greatest albums of the last 10 years and seems sadly forgotten by time. Now, the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club of today sounds absolutely nothing like the BRMC of Howl , but things fall apart. You know, the whole falcon can't hear the falconer and all that jazz. Regardless of my likes and dislikes, BRMC have been creeping closer and closer to sounding exactly like Stone Temple Pilots for a while now. So, alas, the next step is to actually [...]

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club will hook up with Stone Temple Pilots for 30-day national tour, kicking off September 16 in San Diego. BRMC, who have done 71 shows in 95 days across 15 countries, will also intersperse a few headline dates during the tour as they continue support of their March 2010 release, Beat The Devil's Tattoo . Dates look like this (though you should always double-check for changes...): September 15 - Pomona, Calif. @ Glasshouse* September 16 - San Diego, Calif. @ Viejas Arena September 17 - [...]

It's one more week already. The wait is almost over. Remember that morning you were sitting at your computer, multiple windows open. 8:50am. Refresh, refresh, refresh waiting for the clock to tick over to 9 moshtix website loaded and ready to go. Ready to get your hands on those hot little tickets. Then once it al goes through, the sigh of relief. Calling friends trying to work out who else is going, how your getting there and who's got the tent. Well guys, the next thing to do is jump in your car and start driving or jump [...]
It used to be that rock and roll music was all about being anti-establishment. Nothing says you've reached musical god status like giving the bird to big business. But after Converse offered up that Best Coast/Kid Cudi/Rostam from Vampire Weekend summer jam , we're starting to rethink hating The Man. This is even more true after Dr. Martens, you know, the boot-making company, offered up covers by the likes of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Raveonettes, and Noisettes among others in celebration of their 50th anniversary . Go corporate entities! In honor of their anniversary, and the [...]
Great tune for driving home after you just told someone to F off.
by Josh Taylor Julian Shah-Tayler, out of the UK, was born to make music. Putting out an EP every few months and pumping out 50-70 songs a year is no easy feat, unless you show prevalently the aspects of a well-rounded musician. His robust musicianship is responsible for his versatility as an artist. What I [...]

Jesus christ. The Black Angels . Straight outta Austin. Sounding like a very modern psychadelic rock and roll band - Joensuu 1685 doesn't even come close. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club is nowhere near the massiveness of this sound. Raw rock and roll like they're coming right outta the backwaters of some dangerous, bad ass town. Dirty, druggy, drunken hypnotism, feedback delay churning into muddy, murky riffs. [Video: The Black Angels - Bad Vibrations] -Video- And then with one evil black howling cry, [...]
In what sounds like a cross between The Black Keys, Jimi Hendrix, and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club doing Lo-Fi garage rock, Night beats have got a damn fine sound, coupled with spiky energy and catchy melodies. It's almost as if this three-piece from Seattle don't care how good they are, and that doesn't even matter. All that matters is that YOU care just how good they are. Check out "H-Bomb" below as well as the official video for "Rabbit Hole", and head over to their MySpace page for a bunch of other crazy-delicious songs. [...]
