Bad Brains - Rock For Light

If you were to ask me who my all time favorite hardcore band was, the Bad Brains would probably come to mind first. A set of four Rastafari coming out of Washington DC in the early 80s, making some of the fastest yet melodic punk ever heard. They were debatable the first hardcore punk band ever to be conceived, or at least to be widely recognized.

Rock For Light is for the better part break neck speeded punk with the occasional dub reggae track to interlude the insanity of the rest of the album and to softly give us the message of their political insight. Things would eventually go stale for the Brains, band members fighting, a number of shoddy records and some very questionable tales did slightly smear their reputation as loving men trying to promote unity. However, no matter who created this record, it can speak for itself.
