🚨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.

At 35 watts, the Bellringer is loud enough for any stage and makes a great clean pedal platform, but thanks to our tube driven Power Scaling and 1x12 form factor, it's also at home in clubs and coffee shops.

This one recently played Red Rocks with @timhanseroth and @brandicarlile

Spilt wax, intricate drawings and etched copper plates; what started as an evening spent drawing by candlelight led to the album artwork for In Rainbows.

I just watched Event Horizon for the first time. I can’t believe how bad this movie is. I mean, I literally can’t believe it. I can usually find some redeeming quality in most films, but not this pool of mashup drivel. Avoid at all costs. Just wow. boxd.it/20d8 #filmsky #moviesky

'Not shying away': Mitch Brown on the hate that's come with coming out

After coming out, Mitch Brown became an unofficial spokesperson for queer issues in the AFL. While that experience has been overwhelmingly positive, it's also come with an onslaught of hate.
