Black Rebel Motorcycle Club are an American rock and roll band from San Francisco, California, now based in Los Angeles. They are influenced by The Rolling Stones, Iggy Pop And The Stooges, The Ramones, The Doors, Sex Pistols, and 1980s British acts like Spacemen 3 and especially The Jesus & 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.
Caught up in the hype of the Music-press fueled 'New Rock Revolution' which included The Strokes and Kings of Leon in 2001 to 2003, the band quickly separated themselves from the others in both sound and image. Their second album 'Take them on, on your own' has several songs such as 'Generation' and 'US Government' that are critical of the United States' foreign policy, and in particular George Bush.
