About event
It's not often that a new album from an established band causes a collective gasp. In August 2005, it was “HOWL,” Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's third album, that received this honor. The trio from San Francisco was considered one of the most exciting and loudest guitar bands in America at the time. The debut album “B.R.M.C” and its follow-up “Take Them On, On Your Own” were celebrated for driving, noisy rock songs like “Whatever Happened To My Rock’n’Roll (Punk Song)” or “Stop”, in which the B.R.M.C. sounded (and looked) like early The Jesus And Mary Chain had joined an American motorcycle gang.
Well, and then came “HOWL” – and Peter Hayes, Robert Levon Been and, at the time, Nick Jago (who was replaced on drums by Leah Shapiro in 2008) discovered the music that had always been in their DNA, just not so clearly apparent. “HOWL” is, as the title borrowed from Allen Ginsberg suggests, a love letter to the poetry of the beatniks (which their hometown also and above all produced), to gospel, folk and blues. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club goes Great American Songbook, so to speak - but with strong original compositions like the bluesy "Ain't No Easy Way", the country-folk ballad "Fault Line", or the opener "Shuffle Your Feet", which treats itself to a gospel intro.
VISIONS magazine wrote in their review at the time: "Once the fan has gotten over the fact that it's better to get off the motorcycle to listen, and that even the broad knowledge of the Jesus And Mary Chain references is no longer useful for a better understanding, the time comes for the sneaking suspicion that this could be BRMC's greatest album." Many people's suspicions have been confirmed over the years - and that's why it makes more than sense that the three of them will go on a nice anniversary tour in the fall, where they will primarily dedicate themselves to the strong "HOWL" songs.
