Bad Brains is an American Hardcore Punk band that was formed in Washington, D.C. in 1977. Originally known as Mind Power, the band started out as a jazz fusion ensemble before transitioning into punk rock. Known for their unique sound, Bad Brains also incorporated reggae and dub tracks into their music, along with elements of funk, heavy metal, and hip hop.

The classic line-up of Bad Brains consisted of H.R. (Paul D. Hudson) on lead vocals and guitar, Dr. Know (Gary Miller) on guitar, Darryl Jenifer on bass, and Earl Hudson on drums and percussion. However, throughout their career, the band experienced several lineup changes with different musicians replacing H.R. and Earl Hudson at various times.

Despite the challenges faced by the original members breaking up multiple times over the years, Bad Brains has continued to make music since their formation in 1977. Their influential style has left a lasting impact on the hardcore punk genre.

Virtually everyone agrees that this group - made up of four Washington, D.C.- bred African American jazzbos - single-handedly invented hardcore. They radically quickened punk's tempos, added virtuoso instrumentation, and topped it all off with the mystic squeals of shaman-like frontman Paul H.R. Hudson. This disc, produced (oddly enough) by ex-Cars leader Ric Ocasek, gives voice to the band's scathing sociopolitical judgment (see Big Takeover) as well as its ability to simply put the hammer down and rock (At the Movies). It also allows the rhythm section of Darryl Jenifer and Earl Hudson to flex their muscle on a smattering of dub reggae interludes that help lull the unsuspecting into the right frame of mind for the next HC sucker punch.
