“BRMC hold on to just enough of what's right on their eighth studio album”
““Whatever happened to my rock’n’roll?” howled Black Rebel Motorcycle Club on their artfully noisy debut ‘BRMC’ back in 2001. Sung with a snarl and delivered with swagger, it had that perfect balance of sex and danger that helped lay down the blueprint for the garage-rock revival that followed. They were months ahead of The Strokes and Kings Of Leon, proving what could be done with “a sweet sensati”
“Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, at the time of their emergence in 2001, were a cool band – a black-clad outlaw gang snarling in a sea of dry ice. Not many of their contemporaries from the era have made it this far, and that the trio can still sell out venues the size of Brixton Academy is supporting evidence for the ‘rock ‘n’ roll survivors’ tag they’ve inevitably picked up at this stage in their car”
“BRMC’s eighth album continues to prop up the rock-historical establishment. It offers more of the same, but at least it’s more of the same in a fairly compelling way.”
