BRC are currently recording a new 11 track album due for release mid-2014. These new songs all written by frontman, Ben Russell, feature environmental issues you would expect from a reggae band, but also tales of love and compassion blended in the summer sounding reggae. On their current 9 track EP, available on iTunes, “The whole pattern remains the same throughout the tracks on the EP, but because of the sole fact that it’s reggae, it creates a nice bond with the listener, therefore allowing the listener to love Ben Russell and the four piece of The Charmers to concoct a potion on love, life and festive filled anthems" Keith Ling - Keiths Independent review.
