    20th Anniversary Vinyl Box Set & Tee

    http://hyperurl.co/brmcboxset

    This year marks the 20th Anniversary of our first release, B.R.M.C. We wanted to celebrate this milestone with you, so we’ve put together a special 20th Anniversary Vinyl Box Set that includes a double gatefold of the original album with bonus songs plus a 3rd Vinyl disc of songs from that period that we’ve never released before, all newly mixed & mastered. We’re also including a special hard-bound book of photos taken by Ken Schles, who did the cover image for the album.

    This is available for immediate pre-order at the link above. This 20th Anniversary Deluxe Box will be very limited. If you’re feeling nostalgic and like us, grown out, worn out, thrown out or straight lost it. We’ve done our best to make some of the original B.R.M.C. t-shirts, to swat the moths messing with your other favorite bands shirts.

    Mercy of Man and the Music that Inspired The Card Counter

    Posted earlier today on BRMC’s Facebook page:

    https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0birIEVpDshr9DUpkzIz8c… Mercy of Man and the music that inspired The Card Counter.

    This was a crazy ride of exploring many different colors/sounds/tones for so many months. If you’re curious what inspired me while working on the soundtrack, and what I was listening to while composing, then you’ll enjoy this. Mostly for all the super nerds out there, ha. But yeah, check out the playlist on Spotify now.

    Here’s a little more info on the soundtrack from the article:

    Coinciding with the US release of The Card Counter on September 10th, this thirteen-track collection began as a one-song project but evolved into something much greater – Levon Been has composed several other original songs for this revenge thriller, as well as much of the film’s instrumental score and sound design.

    Mercy of Man (feat. S.G. Goodman) by Robert Levon Been

    Posted today on BRMC and Robert Levon Been’s YouTube pages, another new track from The Card Counter soundtrack!

    when your silent eyes won’t speak
    but you can’t feel the quiet
    and your strumming all the strings
    but there’s nothing but darkness
    with your crying eyes
    it’s only your prayers that your fighting
    and the way is shown
    but you can’t see the world without starlight

    so you hollow yourself in the mercy of man
    you just need something to find your way home
    and a spire of dreams are the finest of things
    you just need someone to carry you home

    when your quiet eyes won’t speak
    but you can’t feel the silence
    and your forced to scrape and steal
    till your nothin but diamond

    and royal kings or a choir of thieves
    you just need someone to find your way home
    a spire of dreams are the finest of things
    you just need someone to carry you home

    Peter Hayes on the Limehouse Podcast

    Earlier today, BRMC shared a new podcast interview with Peter Hayes!

    BRMC/me (Pete) aside.

    Just a recommendation of a Podcast you may enjoy.Thank you to William from The Limehouse Podcast It’s always nice meeting others who have a joy and passion to keep learning in life and share with others. Full Episode:https://open.spotify.com/episode/263yCr2NlzJuQ3hFSKZ6g7…

    From William, the creator of The Limehouse Podcast:

    So this week I touch base with one of the most iconic figures in rock n roll. Peter Hayes has been front and centre of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club for twenty years. Hard to believe it’s been that long when I think back to the days of going to see them. In the early 00’s I thought I was going to live forever; the bands such as BRMC gave you a certain amount of bulletproof lifestyle.

    I definitely owe quick a bit to @thealexwintershow for taking me to endless inspiring gigs from BRMC to The Libertines when they had nothing more than a handful of followers.

    My conversation with Peter is right up there with the most fun I’ve had. Those of you that listened to the Danny episode will know I had a great time. This was just such a connection. It’s not often a guest really takes the time to ask about the show, it’s history; so we really had a great two way chat! We talk about studio time, life on the road, anxiety, NME and so much more.
