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.

You couldn't doubt her
You couldn't doubt her
Tonight
Tonight's with you

Tonight
Tonight's with you
Tonight

It's like a tear falling
It's like a dream always
It's like a dream gone away
Gone away

You couldn't love her
You shouldn't wonder

Tonight's with you
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's "Tonight's With You" is a haunting love song filled with emotion and longing. The lyrics are repetitive and simplistic, yet convey the depth of emotion felt by someone who is completely in love with their partner. The opening lines, "You couldn't doubt her, You couldn't doubt her," suggest that the singer has complete trust in and faith in the object of their affection. It is as if they know that this person is their soulmate and they have no doubts about their love.
The chorus is the heart of the song and is repeated multiple times throughout. "Tonight's with you" is a declaration of desire and devotion. The repetition of these lines emphasizes the singer's dedication to their partner and the importance of their time together. The line "You couldn't die" is a powerful statement of the depth of their love. It suggests that they cannot bear the thought of being separated from their partner and that they would rather die than be without them.
The bridge of the song, "It's like a tear falling, It's like a dream always, It's like a dream gone away," is ambiguous and can be interpreted in various ways. It could be seen as a metaphor for the ups and downs of a relationship, the fleeting nature of happiness, or the beauty of love and the pain of losing it. Overall, "Tonight's With You" is a touching and emotional song that speaks to the depth of love and the desire to be with the one you love.
