Revving up: Black Rebel Motorcycle Club is still cool, and still knows how to rock out
GINA DAUGHERTY | CIN WEEKLY
The government tries to make people think music is not important or relevant in every way that they can because they know it’s one of the only things that can shake them up and make people come together and share one voice – in a much bigger way than one politician can.

BLACK REBEL MOTORCYCLE CLUB BY KEITH DANIELS
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
I recently caught up with their bassist and co-vocalist Robert Turner while he was backstage at the U.K.’s Leeds festival:
“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
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.
