Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Baby 81

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club return with a brand new album ‘Baby 81’ on the 30th April, released through RCA.

The groups fourth album and the follow-up to 2005’s critically acclaimed ‘Howl’ LP - the band have returned to the familiar rock n' roll, found on their earlier efforts. ’Baby 81’ also harks the return of original drummer Nick Jago after his absence from the last album.

There’s definitely a progression from ‘Howl’ - the country and blues elements have been toned down and the band have embarked upon making good-time rock n’ roll tracks including the openers ‘Took Out A Loan’ and ‘Berlin’.

There’s still a connection to their previous albums but upon hearing the 9-minute ‘American X’ and the multi-layered ‘All You Do Is Talk’ - BRMC transform into a different band. ’Baby 81’ is a good follow-up record after the critical acclaim of the last LP and definitely a return to form.

The band are planning to return to the UK later in the year for a full tour.
