BAD BRAINS - album stream, MP3 & free boat tix to WIN

DOWNLOAD: Bad Brains – Give Thanks and Praises (MP3)

Bad Brains Build a NationThe above MP3 is off the brand new Bad Brains album “Build a Nation” out June 26, 2007 on Megaforce, and produced by Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys (“It also represents the first studio album, outside Beastie Boys albums, to be recorded at the Beastie Boys’ Oscilloscope Laboratories and Studio compound in New York City.”) You can listen to the whole new Bad Brains album at MySpace. You can listen to the whole new Beastie Boys album on BrooklynVegan.

Bad Brains are playing The School of Rock Festival in Asbury Park, NJ today (June 24). Tomorrow is their sold out NYC concert cruise aboard The Temptress. I rode the Temptress just this past Friday for the also-sold-out Weakerthans show which also the first show of the Rocks Off season. Not only were the Weakerthans great – so was the weather and the view. Here are two pictures I took off the side of the boat:

I have one pair of tickets to give away, and I’m going to split that pair in half – so instead of one prize, I now have two. To win one of these two tickets Email [email protected] (subject: Bad Brains), and let me know your favorite album of 2007 so far. Include your first and last name for guestlist. Two winners will be picked at random, and contacted. Contest ends Monday at noon – seven hours before the voyage starts boarding.
