BAD BRAINS
Maintaining Positive Mental Attitude (PMA) in the face of spiritual chaos; merging precision jazz-fusion chops with blistering 200+ BPM hardcore and authentic deep roots dub reggae.
Pioneers of lightning-velocity hardcore punk, backflip stage dives, dub reggae breakdowns, and Positive Mental Attitude (PMA). Formed in Washington, D.C. in 1977 by four Black musicians who took the energy of early punk and supercharged it with supernatural musicianship, dub reggae, and PMA. Banned from nearly every venue in D.C., their CBGB residency cemented them as the greatest live hardcore band in history.
