Bad Brains guitarist Dr. Know and bassist Darryl Jenifer have conspired to create Fire Burn Babylon Hardcore Hot Sauce. We know, that's a mouthful, in more ways than one. The spicy, small-batch, scotch bonnet-based sauce was born of their longtime love of Caribbean-soul, yard style cooking...

If the Bad Brains' notorious image of a lightning bolt striking the White House was ever truly relevant it was last night. Not only did Brains frontman HR and a rotating casts of musicians chant down Babylon to aid victims Hurricane Sandy at Manhattan's Bowery Electric club but they also did it in the midst of America's evening of electoral pageantry ...

Iconic punk combo Bad Brains have just announced that they will be releasing their first studio album in five years. Into the Future, out Nov. 20, will feature the band's classic lineup of H.R., Darryl Jenifer, Dr. Know and Earl Hudson...

For Record Store Day (April 16th), legendary label ROIR and hardcore godfathers Bad Brains are teaming up to re-release one of the most important pieces of wax in the punk canon: the 'Pay to Cum' 7" vinyl single.

The debut album from Chuck Mosley and VUA (Vanduls Ugenst Alllideracy, his name for the musicians he assembled), 'Will Rap Over Hard Rock for Food,' is the former Faith No More and Bad Brains frontman's first solo album -- more than a decade in the making...

Living Colour carved out their own piece in the genre-bending spectrum. Formed in 1983 in New York City, they were best penned on paper as funk metal, but reached such a much wider fan base. You may remember them best for the single "Cult of Personality," which sounded like Bad Brains on a pop music bender (and won them a Grammy in 1989)...

Chuck Mosley, who fronted Faith No More for their first two albums, Bad Brains for two years and Cement for two albums, has another talent beyond singing and writing songs -- cooking. To make money between music stints, he became a chef. "Right now, I haven't been doing it because we wanted to get this record done," says Mosley, who has just released the album 'Will Rap Over Hard Rock fo
