Drama is always fun and it seems BLACK REBEL MOTORCYCLE CLUB are pretty chock full of it these days. Why? Well it seems the band has decided to move on without drummer Nick Iago. The funny thing is, this isn’t the first time they’ve been without Iago, he took a hiatus from the band before the band’s 3rd studio album, Howl. Many speculate it was the lack of Iago’s presence that spawned the departure of sound on that third record resulting in a mainly acoustic album from BRMC.

From a post on the band’s message board, Iago stated that the Robert and Peter asked him to take a break and he took it as being fired. You can read both statements after the jump. (more…)

BLACK REBEL MOTORCYCLE CLUB has released their new single “Berlin” online and in UK stores.

“Berlin is a snarling beast of a rock song that shows that the boys aren’t going to let the critics have it their own way. By the time the chorus kicks in, the feel of a band looking for a fight and their rock revolution still burns brightly….” - Disorder Magazine.

Berlin is released on 2 formats with exclusive B-Sides and content. The cd version of the single will have the b-side “Vision” as well as an alternate version of their video “Weapon of Choice”. Limited edition red 7-inch vinyl will have the b-side “20 Hours”
