Bad Brains Concert History

Bad Brains is a punk rock band formed in Washington, D.C., USA in 1977. The band is regarded as one of the pioneers of hardcore punk, though band members have objected to the term to describe their music. They are also an adept reggae band, while later recordings featured elements of other genres like funk, heavy metal, hip-hop and soul. Bad Brains are followers of the Rastafari movement.
