Bad Brains - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1709 words)
The Bad Brains are an American all-fl hardcore punk and reggae band, originally formed in Washington, DC in 1977.
Bad Brains' emphasis on extreme speed, especially in their early records and performances, are often regarded as influencing or perhaps even establishing hardcore punk.
Bad Brains were plagued by internal tensions nearly from their beginning: aside from the problems with H.R., who sometimes even refused to perform at scheduled concerts, he and his brother, drummer Earl Hudson, wanted to devote the band to reggae, while Dr. Know and Jennifer were increasingly interested in heavy metal music.
Band Search: BAD BRAINS (336 words)
As for the Bad Brains themselves, they continued to record and tour in varying lineups led by guitarist Dr. Know into the late '90s, yet never managed to break out of their cult status.
In addition to the Bad Brains tape, the group released a handful of other EPs in 1982, finally moving to PVC for 1983's full-length debut Rock for Light, which was produced by Ric Ocasek.
The handful of indie recordings Bad Brains left behind, as well as their live shows, made the band legends in American hardcore, yet few potential fans could actually hear the band due to poor distribution and erratic touring.
