This week we’re discussing every album by the legendary Bad Brains. This band needs no introduction, as they are one of the greatest and most influential punk bands of all time. Comprised of HR (vocals), Dr. Know (guitar), Darryl Jennifer (bass), and Earl Hudson (drums and brother of HR), Bad Brains almost singlehandedly invented hardcore punk. If that wasn’t enough, they continued to evolve musically over the years throughout some unbelievably sketchy situations, all due to HR’s erratic on and off-stage behavior. Strap in, folks, this one is a doozy.
Closing track: “Sacred Love” from I Against I (1986)
