Bad Brains: Give Thanks and Praises video + song

On June 26, Bad Brains released the highly anticipated LP, Build a Nation. The 14 track disc was produced by Adam Yauch, whose own relevance is equally paralleled through his own Beastie Boys notoriety. The Bad Brains first video off of Build A Nation has been finished by director and System Of A Down member, Shavo. Shot at Sasquatch Festival and also Portland Oregon by famed cinematographer Danny Hiele (U2, Green Day, Kanye West), the concept caputures and merges punk and reggae. Thus, the main punk video 'Give Thanks And Praises' is seen merging into the dub reggae of 'Jah Love.' It's a concept Shavo felt did justice to the band as being innovators of punk rock: 'I really wanted to respect this band and bring out and capture what they are about, which is a certain intensity...yet, also bringing out all sides of the band. So, the brutal fury of the first video merges into this beautiful dub song. It is some of the most stunning cinematography from DP Danny Hiele I have ever seen. Glorious film style,' says Shavo.
