Self-Titled Summer | Bad Brains (1982, US)
Our next Self-Titled Summer spotlight is on number 540 on The List, submitted by myself (buffyleigh). Here’s a quick rundown:
- Point(s) of origin: This group first formed in 1976 in Washington D.C. as a jazz fusion band called Mind Power, with Dr. Know on lead guitar, Darryl Jenifer on bass, Paul Hudson aka H.R. on rhythm guitar, H.R.’s brother Earl on drums, and Sid McCray as the singer. When the band members got into punk rock, they switched both their sound and their name, referencing the Ramones’ song, “Bad Brain“. The band then incorporated reggae sounds into their new hardcore punk direction after seeing Bob Marley live, McCray left, and H.R. became the singer. By 1979/80, the band was banned from the major local clubs, and so, around 1980/81, they relocated to NYC. By the time this, their debut studio album, was released (on cassette only, hence also referred to as The Yellow Tape), the band was an important part of the NYC hardcore scene, and regularly played CBGB.
- Tasting notes: Hardcore punk, reggae fusion, Rastafari dub
- Standout track: “Banned in D.C.”, which is about them being banned in D.C., and the band’s debut single “Pay to Cum“, originally released in 1980.
- Where are they now?: Many of the tracks from this debut were re-recorded for their following LP, Rock for Light (1983). Bad Brains would then break up for the first time, and then would reform (and break up, and reform…) and go on to release seven more studio albums (the last one, Into the Future, in 2012), incorporating more styles into their sound including funk, soul, and heavy metal. The band has changed their line-up many times (particularly swapping out the Hudson brothers), but they are currently listed as still being active and with the same line-up as the debut s/t.
