New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Black
Rebel Motorcycle Club have launched a new video for the hypnotic "Carried From The Start" taken from their latest album 'Wrong Creatures'.
Working with the Snorri Bros again on this new clip, and featuring Julien Crane and Courtlyn Cannant, 'Carried From The Start' is a sad, beautiful and uplifting song and a worthy addition to BRMC's arsenal.
"Videos are a way for us to support some else's art. We were actually fans of this cool video these guys made for Null + Void a little while back. The video for 'Carried From The Start' went through a few different incarnations, and at one point we wanted to make a video for the whole album with different artists interpretations of each song. We were fortunate to work with Snorri Bro's though because they're very gorilla style and just jump into the deep end with no fear. I think we'd literally just started touring on the other side of the globe, and at the same time they created a whole world to this song in like the blink of an eye." — BRMC
The band will also be making a welcome return to the UK this summer playing the following dates: July 26th London, O2 Kentish Town Forum July 28th Hertfordshire, Standon
Calling Festival July 29th Derbyshire, Y Not Festival July 30th Glasgow, O2 Academy

"a gorgeous, emotional slow building journey" - Sunday Times
"The old formula still works" 4/5 - Financial Times
"Complex and beautifully constructed…as vital and engrossing as ever" CD of the week 4/5 - Sunday Express
"They're still doing it, and doing it well - there's your rock'n'roll." - NME
"magnificent. 4/5" - The Independent
"A solid return with one or two surprises" - The Arts Desk

Ghost Cult
"..a confident return to form" - Line of Best Fit
The widely acclaimed California-based band consists of
Peter Hayes (vocal, guitar, harmonica), Robert Levon Been (vocal, bass, guitar), and Leah Shapiro (drums) and they've been crafting perfectly honed, bluesy, psychedelic garage-rock since 1998.
Ultimately, the band are survivors during an era where rock'n'roll can often be overshadowed by garish pop and domineering hip-hop.
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club have learned how to cut out all the noise and concentrate on what matters. Robert Levon Been: "We are truly an island - come hell or high water, so it's usually best to dress accordingly. Though I'm not sure what the proper attire is when drowning in fire. But leather usually goes with everything."
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club are currently on tour in the US, which includes dates with
Depeche Mode at the end of May. They head to
Europe for the summer at the start of June taking in Russia and the Ukraine on their way to the UK. The band has partnered with Plus 1 for the US tour in which $1 from each ticket will be donated to War Child, a worldwide organization that supports programs aiding women & children dislocated and impacted by war, political unrest, terrorism and poverty.

July 26th London O2 Kentish Town Forum
