Some small new album info here: http://www.harpmagazine.com/news/detail.cfm?article=10858

Quote:
The album contains thirteen tracks, including the first single, “Weapon of Choice,” jointly written by Peter Hayes and Robert Levon Been, and the 9-minute-11 second “American X.”

The band’s handlers at RCA tell HARP that Baby 81 is “an ambitious, powerful, emotional, guitar-driven rock n’ roll record that is guaranteed to get people jumping and thinking.” (I’m impressed, considering said actions are usually mutually exclusive. Well, impressed and intimidated.)

and here: http://www.groovevolt.com/Newswires/newswire.asp?ID=2350
Quote:
The opening track, “Took Out a Loan,” and “666 Conducer” were released at the end of the “Howl” sessions. The first single from the album, “Weapon of Choice,” is a collaborative effort by the group’s two songwriters, Peter Hayes and Robert Levon Been.

Though the first song is nearly two years old and the closing track is one of Hayes’ oldest songs, “The sequence of the record is almost perfectly chronological from the first song we recorded for the album to the last,” Been said.
(i think they meant recorded, not released for Loan & 666...)

During the tour for Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's second album, Take Them On, On Your Own (Virgin, 2003), it seemed like the band was in a race toward implosion. Between rising tensions and petty arguments, it looked like the group was headed straight for an episode of VH1's "Where Are They Now?" Drummer Nick Jago walked off the stage during a concert in the U.K., their record label dumped them, and the band members indulged in the kind of self-destruction that rock bands are famous for.

Interview: Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
By David A. Cobb
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club garnered a bunch of interest with their major label debut, BRMC in 2001, and their sound echoed the fuzzed-out tunes of Psychocandy-era The Jesus & Mary Chain and modern spacey Britrock. During the tour for their second effort, 2003's Take Them On, On Your Own, the band performed several new songs and stripped-down versions of their hits. It was quite a departure for the band, and one that showed a gentler, countrified side of the band.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club: Dark Howl
Shane Handler
Wednesday, November 30, 2005

In 1998, Peter Hayes and Robert Been, two mop-topped junkie looking rockers from San Francisco decided they’d had enough with the direction of rock music, so they started their own club - the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. And their plight couldn’t better be served than by their illustrative lyrics: “I have my heart to a simple chord/I gave my soul to a new religion/Whatever happened to my rock’n’roll?” They were a duo on a mission to save rock from itself, and when they added the fervent drumming of Nick Jago, BRMC flexed a new muscle in rock that hadn’t been heard in years.

BLACK REBEL MOTORCYCLE CLUB [ September 6th, 2005 ]

If you read any recent article about Black Rebel Motorcycle club, you are sure to find mention of how the band has changed their sound for their latest album, Howl. This change has been met with various reactions and many fans wonder if this is the future of BRMC. However, the band insists it is merely a part of their music that has been there all along, just maybe hidden a bit.

Silent Uproar recently talked with the band's frontman Peter Hayes about the change in sound, what we can expect from the band on future records, and the problems with our throwaway consumer culture.

Known for their Brit-flavored, supercharged rock, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club may surprise some fans with their latest album, Howl. A wide-ranging, heartfelt collection of songs, Howl proves that Black Rebel Motorcycle Club are just as at home playing stripped-down folk, clap-your-hands gospel and blues as they are amped-up rock.

Robert Been of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club recently talked with Ticketmaster about the new album, the band's U.S. tour and how a group of rockers came up with such a soulful tribute to Americana music.

Restless Sinners by Paula G
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club could have broken up on numerous occasions. In just over a year, such events as dropping from record label Virgin, almost losing drummer Nick Jago and the uncertainty of where the music was heading almost made the band history. But it didn’t.

Howl at the moon, FilmInk (Australian Mag)
After grinding the gears with the slashing, guitar heavy aural assault Take Them On, On Your Own, THE BLACK REBEL MOTORCYCLE CLUB pull a major switch on their new album HOWL, delivering an album filled with stripped-down, folk-inflected melancholia. “Their third album sees them breaking free and heading into Americana’s well-travelled wilds, producing their most beautiful recording yet,” said Mojo Magazine. Riding high on great reviews like this, frontman ROBERT LEVON BEEN (previously Rob Turner) took the time out to talk movies.

Filter Magazine Artist to watch
http://www.filter-mag.com/artists/interior.132.html

It seems strange to rely on a second century spiritual proverb to give meaning to the story of a rock ‘n roll band in 2005. But the tale of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, and the arduous circumstances surrounding the making of its third and finest full length, Howl, requires just such a reference. Translated from the ancient Coptic language, the phrase in question reads:

“If you bring forth what is within you, what you will bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you."

xTaster Street Team Page
http://www.xtaster.co.uk/project_detail.php?id=4064

“We went through some hard times as a band. Lost the meaning of why we were doing what we were doing … but I think this album somehow has been a new beginning. Just the music alone and making this record really inspired us to keep the whole thing going, and get the band back together with Nick.”

So comments Robert Turner honestly on the return of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and their third album ‘Howl’, set for release this August.

NME 18 June 2005 Interview
Two Years ago Black Rebel Motorcycle Club were the most exciting band around. Then they crashed and burned. Just when it couldn't get any worse, an inflatable penis caused them to split... So, what's put the smile back on their face?

"The whole fucking point of art is to question what's going on. That's art's purpose and artists have every right in the world to do that." –Peter Hayes, June 2003

How the usually reticent Black Rebel Motocycle Club are challenging the climate of paranoia and fear created by the US government with their forceful new album.
