Bad Brains signs w/ Megaforce Records
Megaforce Records has announced that it has entered into a worldwide deal with legendary punk/hardcore band Bad Brains. The new album is currently
being finished in New York and will be released worldwide this spring 2007. Adam Yauch (MCA of the Beastie Boys) produced the yet-to-be-titled Bad
Brains album and it represents the first recording, aside from Beastie Boys' recordings, from the Oscilloscope laboratories and studio. The Bad Brains
recently honored the legendary punk club CBGB's closing in 2006 by performing three shows, which sold-out in record time.
"The Brains are one of most powerful and unique bands in the world. They have been a huge influence on me, and it was an honor to work with them on
this record," comments Adam Yauch.
Considered by some to be the "holy grail" of punk rock, the Bad Brains iconic legacy is best defined by their frenetic and legendary live shows. The
Bad Brains are one of the definitive American punk groups who garner the same respect as the Sex Pistols, Black Flag, The Clash, and the Ramones. The
band brought a new dimension to music by melding punk and reggae into an innovative style that has yet-to-be copied. And with this forthcoming
release, the band essentially returns to their early roots with a raw, analog-driven chaos.
"It's such an honor to be working with such an iconic and pioneering band. They are one of the most important and influential bands still working
today. And with Adam Yauch producing, it is history in the making," comments co-owner of Megaforce, Robert John. "Adam and Darryl were essential in
getting all the original members (HR, Darryl Jenifer, Dr. Know, Earl Hudson) into the studio in NYC to create this magical album. It's organic and
powerful."
A Bad Brains worldwide tour will commence, including several festival appearances, this spring in conjunction with the album's release.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

Even the almighty Bad Brains couldn't resist the temptation of the reunion money machine. Good on em though, they deserve to get paid.

Oh and by the way, where the fuck is HR speaking from in American Hardcore? It looks like there's a prom or wedding or something along those lines
going on behind him. My wife and I kept laughing everytime we saw the people all dressed up in the background strolling by.

In that scene, HR looks almost EXACTLY like a bum who is in 69th street terminal every day sleeping or bumming crack money

This thing has been in the works for like 3 years. I'll believe it when I see it.
Jennifer says its like a marriage between Rock for Light and I Against I...I'll believe that when I hear it.
I am one of the rare few who don't believe there is a single bad BB album while HR was on vocals. Even if it's a mediocre BB album it'll probably
still be light years beyond anything anyone else is doing right now.
I really doubt this is going to be a cash cow for the BB...I don't see HR sticking with this for more than 6 months before going batshit crazy and
leaving these guys in the wind again.

I agree with Jason, if this actually comes out in the next 3 months I'll be shocked.

They had a reunion back in 2000. Though they called themselves SOUL BRAINS

Yeah, those shows were amusing. One of the Chicago ones they played they stopped after about a half hour and HR did a Q&A with the audience for 30
minutes. While normally this would be annoying...he somehow made it amusing and was translating what he THOUGHT people were asking him and then
answering a different question than the translation even.

I am sure that MCA would not fuck up BAD BRAINS in helping produce them. This is awsome news.
