San Francisco, United States (1998 – present)

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club are an American rock and roll band from San Francisco, United States now based in Los Angeles. The band formed in 1998. They are influenced by Johnny Cash, The Rolling Stones, The Stooges, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Doors, Sex Pistols, Ramones and 1980s British acts like Spacemen 3 and especially The Jesus and Mary Chain. Their style also encompassed slower paced psychedelic dreamy grooves influenced by shoegazers like My Bloody Valentine and Ride. Recently, with their third record Howl, they developed a new sound somewhere between blues, folk, gospel and rock, but still with their old melancholy.

The band’s second album ‘Take Them On, On Your Own’ featured several songs (‘Generation’ and ‘US Government’) which were critical of the United States’ foreign policy and George Bush in particular.

After conflict with their label (Virgin Records), the band were dropped in 2004. Nick Jago left the band at the end of their summer tour in the same year due to “internal conflict.

Following Jago’s departure Peter Hayes and Robert Levon Been regrouped and recorded the band’s third album.

In 2005 the band inked a new deal with Echo in the UK, and RCA in the US. Nick Jago also returned to the fold. The band’s third album “Howl” was released that same year to widespread critical acclaim. Jago returned after most of the album was recorded but played on “Promise”.
