Beat the Devil’s Tattoo

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

A gritty fusion of Delta blues stomps and fuzzed-out garage rock. This is the sound of a midnight ride through a landscape of sin, redemption, and distorted bass.

It's the perfect soundtrack for a midnight ride through a desert you're not supposed to be in.

A relentless, dark-hued swagger that balances primal blues stomps with ethereal, druggy drift.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The hypnotic, foot-stomping acoustic rhythm of the title track that feels like a ritualistic chant.
The explosive transition into the fuzzed-out bass riff of Conscience Killer.
The sprawling, ten-minute psychedelic descent of Half-State that dissolves into a wall of feedback.
