Notes
Mention the name Bad Brains to any music fan today and you will usually get a jaw-dropping response. Considered by some to be the "holy grail" of punk rock, Bad Brains are one of the definitive American punk groups who garner the same respect as the Sex Pistols, Black Flag, the Ramones and the Clash. BUILD A NATION has clearly brought out the best in the band. All original members, Dr. Know, Darryl Jenifer H.R. and Earl Hudson, deliver an explosive arsenal of riffs and bad ass bag of voices. Producer MCA recorded the album at the Beastie Boys' Oscilloscope studio in NYC. It is the first studio album released by the Oscilloscope laboratories, outside of Beastie Boys' albums. Sometimes reactionary, sometimes volatile, Bad Brains simply define the American punk experience.
