Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

This uber cool trio are rockers to the core.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, otherwise referred to as BRMC, is an american rock band from San Fran, USA. Certainly not new to the block, this band first formed together back in 1998. Fourteen years and six albums later, BRMC continue to do their thing and provide their fans with timeless and cool rock music. Like with everything change is inevitable,  BRMC being no exception to this. Over the years the band has gone through a number of changes to its line up - the current one consisting of original band members Peter Hayes and Robert Levon Been, and newbie (singer) Leah Shapiro.

Although 2012 was pretty quiet for this band, they have recently announced that they will be releasing  their seventh album "Specter At The Feast" on March 18th. Previous albums released by this band include "B.R.M.C.", "Take Them On," "On Your Own,""Howl," "Baby 81," "The Effects of 333," and "Beat the Devil's Tattoo."

I first came across this band back when their singles "Weapon of Choice" and "Mercy" featured in an episode of One Tree Hill. I instantly became attracted to their music for the evident mix of garage, blues, folk and rock that they applied to all their music.

Despite having a fairly quiet 2012, 2013 proves to be a busy one for BRMC with the release of their new album, and N.American and European tour.

I urge you to buy tickets asap if you are interested in seeing this band live. With the size of their fan base, it is normal for their gigs to sell out quick.

Biffy Clyro

One word to describe this scottish rock band: Phenomenal.

Biffy Clyro are a Scottish rock band from East Ayrshire. To date they have released five albums: Blackened Sky, The Vertigo of Bliss, Infinity Land, Puzzle, and Only Revolutions.

Their "Only Revolutions" album (my fav) did particularly well, reaching number 3 in the UK charts and earning them a nomination for the Mercury Music Prize. This album includes the hit singles "Many of Horror," "Mountains," and "That Golden Rule."

This band have recently announced they will be releasing their highly anticipated sixth album "Opposites" very soon. The first single to be released from their upcoming album is "Black Chandelier," which was played for the first time on Zane Lowes radio 1 show on 19th November. If you have yet to hear it, check it out: Black Chandelier

If you have not heard of this band, than shame on you. These boys are true performers and always put on a great show. Despite their success, Biffy Clyro always seem genuinely shocked by the fan base they have built over the years - it is because of this that I urge you to buy tickets asap, as their gigs frequently sell out.

Great talent shared with great personalities - Biffy Clyro always promise a fantastic night of live music. Buy tickets. I will be!
