In the meantime...here's some additional info for all you cats that never heard of or had a chance to listen to their music. Wouldn't want ya'll to be wearing these strickly cause it's a Supreme colab only. Shows that brothers can "get punk" on some different type shit. ~~I Don't Care What You Might Say...We Got That Attitude!!!~~

Bad Brains are a highly influential American all-black hardcore punk band, originally formed in Washington, D.C. in 1979. By melding punk with reggae, Bad Brains became one of the definitive American hardcore punk groups of the early '80s. Although the group released only a handful of records during its peak, including the legendary cassette-only debut, Bad Brains, they developed a dedicated following, many of whom would later form their own hardcore and alternative bands. As for Bad Brains themselves, they continued to record and tour in varying lineups led by guitarist Dr. Know into the late '90s yet never managed to break out of their cult status.

My friend Jannah actually put me on to Bad Brains a few yrs ago. It's too bad we missed them when they were current.

True indeed. To listen to them...you would'nt even think they were brothers on the majority of their stuff. Only on the few reggae inspired cuts they produced. They get props from me for being "outside the box".
