Ahead of Bad Brains’ reissue campaign, Darryl Jenifer looked back on the first decade of Bad Brains’ career, from helping to pioneer hardcore in their early days to embracing metal in the ‘Quickness’ era, and he told all kinds of history from in-between.

This quarantine-friendly edition of ‘In Defense of the Genre’ features 10 killer videos of legendary ’80s hardcore bands in their prime, along with an accompanying playlist.

It was the first time H.R., Darryl Jenifer, Dr. Know, and Earl Hudson played a Bad Brains set together in years, ahead of their upcoming official return at Riot Fest. The set also included guest lead-vocal appearances by Lamb of God’s Randy Blythe and original Bad Brains singer Sid McCray.
