The Truth

"In vibe and attitude, Brant Bjork is a direct artistic descendent of Jimi Hendrix, Thin Lizzy's Phil Linott and Bob Marley. Yet he's a complete original. He makes music that blows a big cloud of smoke in the face of all things corporate: soulless product sold as music and manufactured fads that are dead before they even begin. Rocking, soulful, evocative, colorful, wise, rebellious and alive, this album is a true work of art by one of the most important, vital artists working in any media today. If the world has got you down, listen to some BB and get reminded of what's real, what's important and what makes you feel really good."

"Brant's best offering yet. This guy just keeps getting better. Rock solid from start to finish. If you like any of Brant's work, this is a must buy. Get it!"
Oh, Yes!

"Last summer's record was Somera Sol. This summer's record will be Punk Rock Guilt. Brant Bjork might be one of the very few to pair power with relaxation and attitude. Crank up "Locked And Loaded" (one of TWO! 10 minute+ songs on this record) and you'll feel 10.5 feet tall and bulletproof. And rightfully so, because you have taste and style when this soundtrack plays. Automatic Fantastic. No superficial gimmicks. "Plant Your Seed" is another favorite and I am sure all the other songs will be too once I get past "Locked And Loaded".
Nothing against Dave Grohl, but on a personal level as a drummer coming from one of the seminal bands (Kyuss) turned 1st class songwriter (and may I say, good guitarist), Brant Bjork means a lot more to me.
This is honest, relaxed, powerful, meaningful...and I am totally in love with it!
Cheers!"
