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.

Bad Brains is the self-titled debut studio album recorded by hardcore punk/reggae band Bad Brains. Recorded in 1981 and released on (then) cassette-only label ROIR on February 5, 1982, many fans refer to it as The Yellow Tape because of it's yellow packaging. Though Bad Brains had recorded the 16 song Black Dots album in 1979 and the 5-song Omega Sessions EP in 1980, the ROIR cassette was the band's first release of anything longer than a single. In coordination with the band, Org Music has overseen the restoration and remastering of the iconic Bad Brains' recordings. The audio was mastered by Dave Gardner at Infrasonic Mastering and pressed at Furnace Record Pressing. This Punk Note edition comes with alternate packaging artwork from designer John Yates (Stealworks). The artwork is a nod to Reid Miles and Francis Wolff, and their amazing work at the Blue Note label.
