The band's second album 'Take Them On, On Your Own' featured several songs ('Generation' and 'US Government') which were critical of the United States' foreign policy and George Bush in particular.
After conflict with their label (Virgin Records), the band was dropped in 2004. Nick Jago left the band at the end of their summer tour in the same year due to "internal conflict".
Following Jago's departure Peter Hayes and Robert Levon Been regrouped and recorded the band's third album. With their third record Howl, they added blues, folk and gospel, a la Spiritualized.
In 2005 the band inked a new deal with Echo in the UK, and RCA in the US. Nick Jago also returned to the fold. The band's third album "Howl" was released that same year to widespread critical acclaim. Jago returned after most of the album was recorded but played on "Promise".
"Baby 81" the band's fourth album was released on May 1st, 2007. In June 2008 Nick Jago once again left the touring line-up of the band being replaced by The Raveonettes' touring drummer Leah Shapiro. Nick stated that "...I am fired again and to be honest with you I respect their decision".
However Hayes and Been released a conflicting joint statement that read "Nick won't be joining us for the upcoming European tour, but it's not true that he is fired. We just feel Nick needs time to sort out exactly what he wants right now. His heart and all his energy and attention is on his own solo project and he needs to see that through".
Current:
On January 9, 2013, the band announced via Facebook the name of their seventh album called Specter at the Feast which was released on March 18 in the UK and Europe and on March 19 in USA, Canada and worldwide. It is considered a tribute to Michael Been (The Call), Robert Levon Been's father who died suddenly on tour with BRMC in August 2010.
It received mostly positive reviews; many critics noting that despite the band having been together for some time the album showed a mellower and moodier side with songs such as opener `Firewalker'.
The band made the first single from the record available, a cover of The Call's 1989 hit "Let the Day Begin", for free download on their official website. The decision to record the song was a tribute to Robert's father Michael, who used his experience from The Call to help BRMC before his death in the last couple of years. The single became Q Magazine's track of the day.[6] The band have also released the Let the Day Begin EP for free, consisting of the single and the album track "Returning", made available for streaming on the official website.[7]
On April 8, 2013 it was announced that the band would play at Rock Werchter, the largest rock festival in Belgium.
The band continues to show a willingness to tour despite the obstacles. During the 2013 tour, the organisers of the Harvest festival in Australia decided to abandon the multi-city event, of which BRMC were one of the lead acts, only a few months ahead of the performances. BRMC was the first band to announce it would still visit the country and play its own shows.
Many shows on the 2013/2014 tour have sold out.
BRMC's music/songs have been featured in many films, television programs and video games.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you fall in love you know you're done
You got easy eyes to hunt
And the world above needs your blood
In the cold veins of the richest man
He'll pay your way to steal her hand
There ain't no easy way
There ain't no easy way
No there ain't no easy way out
There ain't no easy way
No there ain't no easy way out
It's easy to fall in love
When you've run your luck you know you're done
And the last kiss had fool's cost
Now your tired eyes can only haunt
There ain't no easy way
No there ain't no easy way out
There ain't no easy way
No there ain't no easy way out
There ain't no easy way
No there ain't no easy way out
There ain't no easy way
No there ain't no easy way out
There ain't no easy way
No there ain't no easy way out
There ain't no easy way
No there ain't no easy way out
There ain't no easy way
No there ain't no easy way out
There ain't no easy way
No there ain't no easy way out
There ain't no easy way
No there ain't no easy way out
It's easy to fall in love
When you fall in love you know you're done
It's easy to fall in love
When you fall in love you know you're done
The lyrics of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's "Ain't No Easy Way" seem to focus on the complexities and pitfalls of love. The singer suggests that falling in love might be easy, but it is not necessarily a good thing. The first stanza suggests that someone with "easy eyes to hunt" is an attractive target for the rich and powerful, who might use their wealth to "steal her hand" away. The second stanza seems to be about the aftermath of a failed love affair. The line "And the last kiss had fool's cost" suggests that the singer regrets the way things ended, and their "tired eyes can only haunt" their memories.
Overall, the song seems to be a cautionary tale about the risks and difficulties of romantic love. The repeated refrain of "There ain't no easy way" suggests that these risks and difficulties are a fundamental part of the experience of love. Despite the challenges, however, the singer seems resigned to the fact that falling in love is "easy" and perhaps even unavoidable.
Some possible interpretations of the song might focus on themes of power dynamics in relationships, the trade-offs involved in pursuing love, or the inevitability of heartbreak. Ultimately, the song's lyrics are open to different readings, and may mean different things depending on the listener's own experiences and interpretations.

Sorry man, about the marriage being long gone
@intpete
Lead guitar is tuned to an open D, so non-standard, which makes slide guitar effortless and so cool. Love this song.
