Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

Though the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (whose name comes from Brando film THE WILD ONES) are American, their sound borrows heavily from British sources, and they became a sensation in the UK with their 2001 debut album. Though singer/multi-instrumentalist Robert Turner is the son of Michael Been, leader of '80s California band the Call, the roots of BRMC lie in the misty guitar textures of English shoegazer bands like Ride and Slowdive, and the '60s-flavored fuzz tones of the Jesus & Mary Chain.… Show more After the band's second album, 2003's TAKE THEM ON, ON YOUR OWN, the BRMC parted ways with their label Virgin. ~ Rovi
