For The Love Of Movies... Can We Talk?SXSW 2012 Trailer: Doc "Bad Brains: Band in DC" (Influential & Significant American Punk/Reggae Band)
The full synopsis reads:
Bad Brains are one of the most important and influential American bands still working today. They melded punk and reggae into an innovative style that has yet to be copied. Their impact and influence can be heard in groups like Beastie Boys, No Doubt, Nirvana, Jane's Addiction and countless more. Despite the troubles of an eccentric front man they have stayed together for 30 years without ever reaching the level of success so many think they deserve. Using rare archival footage and original comic illustrations the film re-constructs Bad Brains' rich and complicated history.
Take a look at the trailer below.

Bad Brain is the east coast Fishbone in the sense that they are innovative influential but could not get the recognition they deserve simply because the industry didn't know how to market them (they're Black). Can't wait to check it out. (God, they had the baddest bass line for any punk band)
