Band Biography[]
Bad Brains are considered the founders of Hardcore Punk, and one of the most influential punk bands, along with acts like [[The Ramone and [[Black Fla. They've broken up and reformed a few times throughout their career and are currently still going. They started out as a Jazz band, then formed into a punk band, though their interest in Rastafarianism drew them to experiment with [[Regga as well. They were also early boosters of [[Henry Rollin, encouraging him to sing with them even before he formed [[State Of Aler or joined [[Black Fla. For legal reasons, they briefly toured as [[Soul Brain.
