Bad Brains – Quickness

Bad Brains – Quickness is a vinyl edition of the influential Washington, D.C. band's 1989 album. By this stage of their career, Bad Brains had already helped define hardcore punk, and Quickness pushed their sound further into hard rock and metal while retaining the intensity, speed and rhythmic precision that made the group unique.

The album captures the band's formidable musicianship, combining H.R.'s instantly recognisable vocals with Dr. Know's heavy guitar work and the powerful rhythm section of Darryl Jenifer and Earl Hudson. The result is a record that bridges hardcore, punk, metal and reggae-informed groove without losing the urgency associated with Bad Brains.

This 2022 LP edition offers a key late-1980s Bad Brains title on vinyl.
