Get a little punky

Bad Brains is the hot band rotating the stations right now mixing punk and reggae together for some summer fun music.

The people responsible are:
H.R. - Vocals
Darryl Jenifer - Bass
Dr. Know - Guitars
Earl Hudson - Drums

Their album, Build a Nation, released yesterday and is creating quite a stir, because it steps out of the typical cookie cutter sound we're fond of these days. If you head to their hometown of Washington, D.C. you'll see what a huge and loyal fanbase they already have there, but it is quickly growing along the East Coast.

"The thing about a lot of punk is the feeling that bands have is of apathy and hopelessness. Whereas Bad Brains lyrical content had a lot of hope in it." -- Billy Joe Armstrong of Green Day
