The continued success of BRMC may come as some surprise to most as the band haven’t really had a major hit in a few years but when seeing them live you can understand why they still have such a huge following. This gig is no different as it is jam-packed to the rafters with punters all wanting a slice of the rock and roll pie.

If you like your bands with very little audience participation and lots of sneering darkness then BRMC are the band for you and by the reaction to their onstage entrance would imply this is exactly what their type of following insists on.
