I saw a question about The Clash regarding whether or not they should be considered a reggae band. Ok, what about Bad Brains?
I got into reggae & hardcore punk in the mid 80's and I love (& collect) both genres. IMO Bad Brains blended it better than The Clash and the others that have come out in the last few years, i.e Sublime or Skindred.

Bad brains are punk/HC band. They did some reggae but are obviously more punk than reggae. Same regarding The Clash. Respect !

Major fan and collector!!!
best punk / best reggae = revolutionary Bad brains/HR
icon23,
I also grew up in the 80's with the influence of punk and reggae. Ruts, Pop Group, Clash.... The brains and HR were my transition from the adolecent rude boy to the humble and rightious roots man. Still like punk but rasta is and has been, for 13yrs, my cup in my slowly maturing age. To this day it is still the best punk and most Wicked reggae i've heard.
Unfortunatly they have not had any recent luck, like with the "Soul" Brains thing. That flopped. Don't even ask me about that show. Much disapointment there. The vibrant energetic back flipping HR seems to be sleeping these days. WAKE UP HR!!! SDCA is waiting!ITES!!!

Story Synopsis
Afro-Punk, a 66-minute documentary, explores race identity within the punk scene. More than your everyday, Behind the Music or typical "black history month" documentary this film tackles the hard questions, such as issues of loneliness, exile, inter-racial dating and black power. We follow the lives of four people who have dedicated themselves to the punk rock lifestyle. They find themselves in conflicting situations, living the dual life of a person of color in a mostly white community.
