Bad Brains
Bad Brains was an early punk rock band from Washington, DC circa 1979. Originally, they were a progressive rock band called Mindpower, but switched to playing more aggressive punk rock in the area's local clubs. They also were Rastafarians who interspersed their playlists with reggae songs. Their music still contained hints of their progressive rock past, with quick time changes and lead singer H.R.'s[?] fluctuating vocal dynamics. H.R. was a muscular and unpredictable stage performer who often leaped into the audience or onto amplifiers.
Their original recordings were released on New York's ROIR cassettes, but later they released their first l.p. Rock for Light[?], produced by Ric Ocasek[?] of The Cars. SST Records released I Against I and later albums. Finally, they signed to a major label in the late 1980s to release Quickness[?].
