They&#8217;ve been crafting perfectly honed, bluesy, psychedelic garage-rock since 1998 and return with their 7th\u00a0studio album.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Wrong Creatures&#8217; was produced by Nick Launay (Nick Cave, Arcade Fire) and is available for pre-sale beginning today in all digital music stores and directly through the band&#8217;s online store. <em>Little Thing Gone Wild<\/em> is available for purchase as an individual track now and everyone who pre-orders the album will receive the song instantly.

Their biggest focus remains in developing their own musicianship, never resting on their laurels, preparing to enhance the live experience they can offer fans. &#8220;<em>We caught some cool performances on this record,&#8221;<\/em> says Hayes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Wrong Creatures&#8217; is an exercise in getting back to the core of BRMC&#8217;s alchemy. From the Cave-esque murder balladry of <em>Haunt<\/em> to the garage punk of <em>Little Thing Gone Wild<\/em>, it runs the gamut of classic rock, allowing the band to flex every muscle in their armor. They remain opaque about the songs&#8217; greater meanings, fearful of past misunderstandings<em>. &#8220;I find myself writing about death a lot,&#8221; <\/em>says Hayes.<em> &#8220;I find myself having a discussion with death, which sounds dark. For me, it&#8217;s dark humor.&#8221;<\/em> Talking about mortality allows Hayes to explore life&#8217;s great mistakes and regrets. Channeling them through rolling riffs and dirge-laden rhythms, however, extolls the demons within. It&#8217;s a great catharsis for the band, and it&#8217;s a great unifier for their audience who can also seek solace in the emotional heft.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the band are survivors during an era where rock&#8217;n&#8217;roll can often be overshadowed by garish pop and domineering hip-hop. Black Rebel Motorcyle have learned how to cut out all the noise and concentrate on what matters. &#8220;<em>We are truly an island \u2013 insular and our own thing,&#8221;<\/em> says Been.<\/p>\n<p>Black Rebel Motorcycle Club also announced their North American tour which will be kicking off on January 15, 2018 with dates in Washington DC, Boston, Brooklyn, Los Angeles, and more.
