The Washington Post has put together a detailed article and interview featuring hardcore pioneers Bad Brains. The article discusses the band's early career, their recent album, Build a Nation, their periods of inactivity and more. It also addresses the band's famous slogan/song "Banned in DC":
We never were banned in D.C.; no one ever said we couldn't play anywhere. That was something we said to put fuel to kick our asses out. In PMA, it says you've got to keep moving, and we had conquered D.C. Trust me, no one ever locked the door of D.C. on us."
