Black Rebel Motorcycle Club is my favorite band of all time. Nobody sounds like them, almost every song they've written is unique and different...but all of them have a same purveying sense of the same enigmatic 'style' to all of them. Things like minor chords, the obvious influence of older rock and roll and rockabilly music from the 1920s up through 1950 comes through in a lot of their albums. In my opinion, they're one of the only Rock and Roll bands making music today I feel that are a legitimate Rock band, instead of pop music. They refuse to cooperate with any record label. Previously they had turned down a total of over $4 million in commercials, because they didn't want to be commercialized. Nowadays they will do commercials, but always donate half of their fee to companies that specifically have been hurt by or may be the end destination for the commercial company's 'dirty laundry'. I admire their music, their attitude, and their style that is 100% individual. They've been influencing my art with their dark/edgy/rock and roll tone since the early 2000s and will undoubtedly continue to do so.
