A new documentary on Bad Brains. Appropriately titled Bad Brains, the documentary tells the story of the legendary D.C. hardcore band from their beginning to present-day. Bad Brains is an American hardcore punk band formed in Washington, D.C. in 1977. It is widely regarded as among the pioneers of the genre, though the band's members objected to the term "hardcore" to describe their music.
Originally formed as a jazz fusion ensemble under the name Mind Power, Bad Brains developed a very fast and intense punk rock sound, which was both musically complex, and was often played faster and more emphatically than the music of many of their peers. They were also an adept reggae band, in a sort of Jekyll-and-Hyde arrangement, while later recordings featured elements of other genres. Bad Brains are also notable as religious followers of the Rastafari movement. Bad Brains broke up and reformed several times over the years, sometimes with different singers and/or drummers. The band's classic and current lineup is singer H.R., guitarist Dr. Know, bassist Darryl Jenifer, and drummer Earl Hudson, H.R.'s younger brother.
Despite reforming in 2007, seminal hardcore punk band Bad Brains are still an overlooked entity. That could change with a new documentary that tells the band's story through interviews with their contemporaries and with footage of the band on their reunion tour. The documentary isn't completely finished yet, but the trailer is below for you viewing pleasure.
Singapore based pinoy hardcore kings T.S.A. will be wreaking havoc at CRAWLSPACE (back of Straits Records) together with a bunch of great bands.
Straits Records is the soul of Singapore underground, tucked in a little alley down Bali Lane this uber cool place which reminded me back home of A to Z Records and Groove Nation back in the day, is headed by Ridhwan V. Ghany.On my first day in Lion City the first thing that i did is to find a nice record bar and buy some local Punk and Ska albums. I found out about this place in a magazine (forgot the name of the mag) about the Singapore fashion and music culture that i got for free while window shopping in the busy district of Orchard Road.
The first time i visited this place is the first time i hooked up with T.S.A drummer Ojie Arcega. The last time i talked to Ridhwan is while i am purchasing a Cesspit and Plague of Happiness CD to give as "pasalubong" (besides the Kaya Jam and Milk Tea!) to my good friend back home, non other than Je Bautista.
I told Ridhwan when i come back to my native country and if i had a chance to get back again in Lion City is that i will bring him back some great CDs from the local bands in my country that i love. Anyway if you are in and around Singapore and you wanna hear some tunes get off the beaten path and go check out T.S.A.'s brand of hardcore, and while you're at it buy some records on your way in.
