Performer: Bad Brains
Distributor: RED Distribution Notes: Bad Brains: Paul "H.R." Hudson (vocals); Gary "Dr.Know" Miller (guitar); Darryl Jenifer (bass); Earl Hudson (drums). Recorded at Omega Studios, Rockville, Maryland in 1980. Personnel: Earl Hudson (drums). Liner Note Authors: Darryl Jenifer; Sacha Jenkins. Recording information: Omega Studios, Rockville, MD (1980). Photographer: Glen E. Friedman. 1997's five-track OMEGA SESSIONS EP is a good choice for a short introduction to the Bad Brains' early, influential hardcore/ska direction. Although the songs were recorded 17 years prior to this official release, time has not dulled the intensity of these performances in the slightest. Such early hardcore classics as "At the Movies" and "Attitude" are featured, as are the cool ska sounds of "I Luv I Jah" and the raging "I Against I"--which would later serve as the title track of the Bad Brains' exceptional 1986 album.
Formed in 1977, the Bad Brains remain one of the most important and influential hardcore bands of all time. By combining their Rastafarian beliefs and lifestyle with hardcore punk, the quartet forged a whole new (and infinitely copied) style that also touched on metal, funk, and, of course, reggae.
