BAD BRAINS Quickness Review:
Ah, Bad Brains. The legendary punk rockers who never fail to deliver a punch in the face with their ferocious sound. Their latest offering, Quickness, is no exception. Packed with high-energy tracks and blistering guitar solos, this album is a rollercoaster ride from start to finish.
From the moment the opening track kicks in, you know you're in for a wild ride. "Soul Craft" sets the tone with its infectious energy and killer riffs that will have you headbanging in no time. The band's signature hardcore punk sound is on full display here, with frontman H.R.'s distinctive vocals cutting through the chaos like a knife.
Tracks like "Stay Close To Me" and "Sheba" showcase the band's versatility, with elements of reggae and dub woven into their punk rock tapestry. It's a refreshing twist that keeps things interesting throughout the album.
But it's not all sunshine and rainbows. The band takes a darker turn with tracks like "Don't Blow Bubbles" and "Rub A Dub Love," delving into more introspective and politically-charged themes. It's a stark reminder that Bad Brains are not just here to make you mosh, but to make you think as well.
All in all, Quickness is a triumph for Bad Brains. It's a testament to their longevity and enduring impact on the punk rock scene. So grab your safety pins and get ready to rock out, because Bad Brains are back and they mean business.

About the artist
Bad Brains
BAD BRAINS: The Pioneering Punks with a Sonic Riot in Their Souls In the turbulent waters of the punk rock sea, one band has always stood out like a neon-lit sore thumb: Bad Brains. Hailing from the concrete jungle of Washington, D.C., this quartet of musical misfits burst onto the scene in the late '70s with a sonic assault that left audiences bewildered, exhilarated, and slightly bruised. Fronted by the enigmatic HR, whose vocal range could shatter glass and souls in equal measure, Bad Brains quickly gained a reputation for their lightning-fast riffs, blistering solos, and incendiary live shows that left fans in a state of euphoria and exhaustion. Their influence on the punk and hardcore scenes cannot be overstated, as they seamlessly blended elements of reggae, metal, and funk into their frenetic sound. But behind the chaos and cacophony lies a band of skilled musicians who could switch from breakneck speed to soulful grooves in the blink of an eye. Guitarist Dr. Know's virtuosic playing, bassist Darryl Jenifer's thunderous low end, and drummer Earl Hudson's powerhouse beats all combined to create a sound that was both ferocious and funky. Despite their tumultuous history and internal conflicts, Bad Brains have left an indelible mark on the music world, inspiring countless bands and artists to push the boundaries of what punk rock can be. So next time you feel the urge to stage dive into the mosh pit or start a revolution in your living room, crank up some Bad Brains and let the sonic riot take hold.
