Walk Together, Rock Together was originally released as an EP in 1985. In 1986, it was expanded into a full length by adding live songs to the albums B-Side. [6] The studio tracks were produced by Minor Threat singer Ian MacKaye, [7] who also provided backing vocals, and mixed by Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz. [8]
AllMusic called the album "an essential chapter of early hardcore." [1] Maximum Rocknroll wrote that "all the pleasant harmonies and sing-alongs are present in full form, and the well thought-out lyrics that make this band what they are." [9] Trouser Press wrote that the album "demonstrates an early interest in slowing things down and tuning them up along positive Clash/Pistols lines." [10]
All songs written by Kevin Seconds, except where noted.
The Misfits are an American punk rock band often recognized as the progenitors of the horror punk subgenre, blending punk and other musical influences with horror film themes and imagery. The group was founded in 1977 in Lodi, New Jersey, by vocalist, songwriter and keyboardist Glenn Danzig, and drummer Manny Martínez. Jerry Only joined on bass guitar shortly after. Over the next six years, membership would change frequently with Danzig and Only being the two consistent members. During this time period, they released several EPs and singles, and with Only's brother Doyle as guitarist, the albums Walk Among Us (1982) and Earth A.D./Wolfs Blood (1983), both considered touchstones of the early-1980s hardcore punk movement. The band has gone through many lineup changes over the years, with bassist Jerry Only being the only constant member in the group.
Bad Brains are an American rock band formed in Washington, D.C. in 1976.

They are also an adept reggae band, while later recordings featured elements of other genres like funk, heavy metal, hip hop, and soul. Rolling Stone magazine called them "the mother of all black hard-rock bands", and they have been cited as a seminal influence to numerous subgenres of heavy metal, including thrash/speed metal, alternative metal, funk metal and rap/nu metal.
