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 ↴
She learned I loved her today
Never thought I'd see her cry
And I learned how to love her today
Never thought I'd rather die
Then try to keep her by my side
Now she's gone love burns inside me
Now she's gone love burns inside me
Nothing else can hurt us now
No loss, our love's been hung on a cross
Nothing seems to make a sound
And now it's all so clear somehow
Nothing really matters now
Now we're gone and on our way
Now she's gone love burns inside me
Now she's gone love burns inside me
Now she's gone love burns inside me
She cuts my skin and bruise my lips
She's everything to me
She tears my clothes and burns my eyes
She's all I want to see
She brings the cold and scars my soul
She's heaven sent to me
Now she's gone love burns inside me
Now she's gone love burns inside me
Now she's gone love burns inside me
Never thought I'd leave you like the way I do, yeah
Kiss my love and I wish you're gone
You can kiss my love and I wish you're gone
Never thought I'd leave you like the way that I do
Kiss my love and I wish you're gone
You can kiss my love and I wish you're gone
Now she's gone love burns inside me
Now she's gone love burns inside me
Now she's gone love burns inside me
In this song, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club reflects on a tumultuous relationship that seems to have recently ended. The singer didn't realize how much he loved the woman until she revealed her own love for him and subsequently left him. He is left with intense emotions, including sadness and burning love. He is willing to endure pain and suffering to make the relationship work, but ultimately it seems that it was not meant to be. The lyrics express both the pain and the beauty of love.
The song seems to suggest a complicated love, one that is both incredibly fulfilling and incredibly destructive. The woman in question is described in violent terms, tearing the singer's clothes, burning his eyes, and leaving scars on his soul. But despite these negative aspects, he still sees her as everything he wants and needs. The chorus, which repeats the phrase "now she's gone, love burns inside me" three times in a row, conveys the idea that the singer is struggling to move on.

I used to listen to this song and the entire album when I was in highschool, this is so cool. I still love it of course !

The most British sounding rock band from America in History.
They never got the recognition they deserved.
@FredMorris-pc8ed
if you like this you might like my brothers music. his name is Stu Morris and 'She has a car' is a good song by him.
@lindawoodall3917
haven't listened to BRMC for 15 years - forgot how good this music is. I'm blown away again.
@christianhagman4350
Same here! Just going through all their records now and discovered how fucking great this band still is! They are criminally overlooked!
@seraffimospang9239
Both of you should check out the brain Jonestown massacre. Peter Hayes was with them before the loving arms of heroin took ahold.
@LLI-cw1os
I don’t understand how it is possible than one of the best songs of BMRC as so poor number of views.....
@francesco0185
Was thinking the same thing right now. It's a mystery. I'll never understand.

O underground sempre vai viver no subterrâneo, é improvável subir, o próprio nome já diz.
