🚨our weekly feature FORGOTTEN GEMS continues, we listen to brilliant albums which seem to have been forgotten.

#5 is #blackrebelmotorcycleclub #B.R.M.C. album from April 2001.

NME gave the album upon release 8/10. Pitchfork gave it 8.2/10.

Definitely one of my favourites from the noughties.

🚨FORGOTTEN GEMS continues, with albums we seem to have been forgotten.

#4 is #therakes debut album #capturerelease from August 2005.

NME gave the album upon release 9/10. Pitchfork gave it 6.3/10.

Definitely one of my favourite and much missed bands with many memories of them performing live.
