If you never heard of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, you will probably recognize some of their music from your favorite TV shows, commercials, movies, and video games. Their work has been featured in Six Feet Under, A Man Apart, The Cosmopolitan Hotel of Las Vegas commercials, The Twilight Saga: New Moon soundtrack, and Need for Speed video game just to name a few. These guys are no rookies and have been doing their stuff since 1998.
Although Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (BRMC) is from San Francisco, they have a spent a good amount of quality time in the San Fernando Valley specifically Northridge recording at Dave Grohl's of the Foo Fighters secret Studio 606 West.
Check out their first track, "Let The Day Begin" from their new album, Specter At the Feast at KROQ or the bands website.
Press Release:
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club recently unveiled their sixth studio album, titled Specter At The Feast, is set for release March 19 on Abstract Dragon / Vagrant Records. The trio will be overseas during the week of release but are pleased to announce their first headline run in the U.S. since 2010, in support of Beat The Devil’s Tattoo. The tour kick offs April 22 in their original hometown of San Francisco at The Fillmore then heads east and stops in NYC at Terminal 5 on May 4 and winds back to the west with a final show in Los Angeles on June 1 at The Wiltern.
Specter At The Feast has already garnered early praise from Rolling Stone who called it a “superb new album,” while NPR crowned the rock ‘n’ roll pioneers “ones to watch in 2013” and called the album “more direct, more heartfelt and more honestly beautiful.”
The first single “Let The Day Begin” is actually a cover, and a thoughtful homage to beloved Michael Been of The Call, also Robert Been’s father and honorary “fourth member” of BRMC. This song propelled The Call into mass consciousness when it reached #1 in the US on the mainstream Rock charts in 1989 and became their biggest crossover hit, thanks to the big arena-rock hook. The song embodies The Call’s optimistic message and BRMC rip through the roaring track as if it was their own.
