According to a recent Billboard article, Bad Brains, now under the monkier Soul Brains, have been working on a new album; Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys is producing the effort. Soul Brains bassist Darryl Jenifer had this to say about the effort: "'I want this record to sound like the old Bad Brains -- I want it to be straight-up hardcore. No tricks, no bells, no whistles. And I want the reggae to be straight rub-a-dub, no little riffs and stuff. The rock -- straight-up speedcore, the way we were known for doing it."
