Punk Rock Guilt Reviews:
Black on Black 
2009-06-07 - This is Brant Bjork's latest release, "Punk Rock Guilt." Dedicated to Buddy Miles, this cd has a bit more of a punch than some of his other releases. There's a few songs that possess more of an electrified guitar-riff vibe. Bjork is sort-of an acoustic Jimi Hendrix, a more rock-oriented Bob Marley and probably a distant cousin of the amazing Mr. Ben Harper.
This disc's got eight tracks and I rarely, if ever, mention specific songs as being the ones that stand-out when it comes to Bjork. For two reasons: #1) The songs run into each other a bit. And I don't mean that in a bad way. They're just pieces to a larger puzzle. #2) Brant Bjork makes albums, not singles. Every release he puts out has a certain feel to it and should be listened to in it's entirety. With that said, you know what to do. Light up a fatty & press play. It's just that simple.
The New Hendrix
2008-10-17 - Brother Bjork as named by John Garcia (formerly of Kyuss too)is an extraordinary talented musician, sadly I overlooked this amazing guy for a long time, "punk rock guilt" is an awesome album were Bjork make evident his Hendrix influences and his love for rock n roll in its purest form, this release is full of hugely enjoyable melodic riffs and 70s rithms, his voice Hendrix alike provide the right atmosphere for the vibe this album search to achieve, certainly the use of analog recording process its essential to capture the right sound and this is evident since the beginning of the first track "lion one" , followed by "Dr. Special" (the best track of the album) "born to rock" is another magnificent cut, in general "punk rock guilt" have the elements to become a classic release and one of the best offered by Brant Bjork.
Lets wait next year to hear a new masterpiece in Bjorks catalog

Rock music's best kept secret perhaps??
2008-06-28 - I am a huge Kyuss fan. BB was the original drummer for this seminal band. I picked up Jalamanta and was quite impressed. This led me to purchase all of his albums within the past month or so....9 in all if you include CHE. Punk Rock Guilt is my fav album by Brant followed by Somero Sol. This dude has a lo-fi, soulful, bluesy, rock groove that can't be beat. At times you hear a Hendrix vibe but this dude pretty much has his own sound. If you dig power trio rock music and are looking for something new to jam too........check out BB and Punk Rock Guilt...you'll be glad you did....rOckOn....caTFishBlueS
Sweet
2008-06-20 - 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!
2008-05-30 - 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!
