A CD arrived for me the other day, and it’s been cranked non-stop on the stereo ever since. It’s B.R.M.C. by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. This is good stuff. To someone who lived through 80’s alternative this feels like really familiar music. It follows the alternative vibe that bands like Interpol have started and branches out from there. B.R.M.C. sounds reminiscent of the Jesus & Mary Chain, but it’s more rock ‘n’ roll than J&MC. This album sounds fantastic loud—it’s just got the blasting guitars and banging drums. As someone who’s 30, I’ll listen to this album because it sounds a fuck-all lot like music I listened to ten or fifteen years ago. But for the younger crowd, I think it’d definitely appeal to people who are into the Strokes, Interpol, and shit like that.
