bad brains

These dreadlocked Rastafarians originally released their seminal hardcore debut only on cassette. They started out as a jazz fusion group called Mind Power in the mid-seventies; but became obsessed with punk, taking their name from a Ramones song. Singer H.R. (Human Rights), guitarist Dr. Know, bassist Darryl Jenifer, and drummer Earl Hudson developed a complex blend of punk and reggae that was so intense that they were banned from performing in many of the clubs in Washington D.C. Bad Brains relocated to New York where they signed onto Neil Cooper's Reach Out International Records (ROIR) which at the time only released cassettes. The album didn't chart; but it did go on to influence new generations of punk and alternative rockers.
