Black Rebel Motorcycle Club have announced UK and Ireland tour dates for October and November.
The gigs open at the Dublin Academy on October 23rd, move into November at the Bristol Academy, and end on November 4th at London’s Bristol Academy.
The details are revealed as BRMC continue work on a long awaited follow-up to Specter At The Feast – ‘this is indeed a classic you see before you‘, we declared back in 2013:
“The brash, punkish attitude that marked BRMC’s first impact with ‘Whatever Happened To My Rock ‘n’ Roll?’ is alive and well in the middle of the record, as ‘Hate The Taste’, ‘Rival’ and ‘Teenage Disease’ succeed each other in a series of punchy, frantic-paced rockers. It’s good old-fashioned foot-tapping stuff, but you hardly know what to make of these songs alongside the bolder, more atmospheric material on ‘Specter…’.”
“Speaking of which – the second half is where things get wyrd with a ‘y’. You have blues spiritual vibes echoing in ‘Some Kind of Ghost’. Eerie a cappella harmonies close in on you in ‘Sometimes The Light’.”
