Banned in D.C.

Banned In D.C. is a compilation of hardcore punk and reggae songs by Bad Brains.

All the tracks have been previously released, except for the instrumental version of "Riot Squad". In addition, the original single version of "Pay To Cum" and the original mixes of several tracks from Rock for Light see their first appearance on CD here. The only studio albums not represented on this compilation are Rise and God of Love, although they were released between Quickness and Black Dots.

Reception
