Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

Add Date: March 16

Artist: Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

Album: Beat the Devil's Tattoo

Label: Vagrant

Genre: Rock

Comments: Black Rebel Motorcycle Club have a sound that I absolutely love. Heavy, moody, at some times gritty and others bluesy or psych-inspired, totally upfront garage-friendly rock. Their latest CD Beat the Devil's Tattoo isn't necessarily ground-breaking, but it's a solid collection of songs to add to the collection, especially if you like their sound to begin with. Layers of guitar, heavy constant rhythms, and a pretty impermeable wall of sound are all present on their latest offering, along with some Americana swamp-inspired grooves.




Definitely check out the title track, featuring a deceivingly light intro that gets compounded into a heavy, pounding rhythmic groove in no time at all. Also try tracks 2 and 3.
