BLACK REBEL MOTORCYCLE CLUB.
They are the third most played artist on my lastfm music profile, with 241 plays with 52 more plays than The Strokes.
In the last 7 days I have played them over a 100 times!
My top 15 tracks from the last 7 days are all from this band except for 4 songs.
Their music is enticing and psychedellic, it pulls me into a world of emotions that I only feel when I listen to them, they have a great universal balance of rock 'n' roll, blues and grunge with an aromatic vocalist called Peter Hayes. The band is from California and their influences include; The Jesus and Mary Chain and Johnny Cash. Their name is taken from a name from Marlon Brando's motorcycle gang in the 1953 film The Wild One. BRMCs' music reiterates their anti-establishment ethos, their belief in rock 'n' roll as protest music and often religiously inspired lyrics.
"If you bring forth what is within you, what you will bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you."
"The whole fucking point of art is to question what's going on. That's art's purpose and artists have every right in the world to do that."...What makes a band great and lasting isn't the way they look or act, it's what they have to say." - Peter Hayes
I LOVE THEM!
