Bad Brains & the Bad Brains Official Store are asking fans to submit photos of themselves showing off their favorite piece of Bad Brains merchandise via the Bad Brains Facebook Page. Fans can get their friends to vote on their photos, and the photos with the most votes will win prizes.
“Pay to Cum”, the seminal punk band’s debut single was re-issued earlier this year on 7″ vinyl for Record Store Day. A limited run of green & red vinyl (250 copies each) and gold vinyl (500 copies) was pressed, and sold out within a week.
Now fans once again have the chance to own these out of print vinyl gems, as Bad Brains are giving away a complete set of Pay to Cum 7″s and a $100 gift certificate to the Bad Brains official store as the Grand Prize for their Facebook photo contest.
All entries will also stand the chance to be featured on the Bad Brains Official Store website at http://www.badbrainsofficialstore.com. The contest runs from now until 12pm EST on Monday September 26, 2011.

Shepard Fairey has designed a silkscreen print of Darryl Jenifer, bassist of legendary hardcore band, Bad Brains. A limited edition of 175 signed copies is now available at the Bad Brains Official Store.
Fairey’s homage to Darryl comes on the heels of Jenifer’s first solo album “In Search of Black Judas”, which was released to critical acclaim a few months back. This is the second print Fairey has designed of the band, who the cult street artist states is “one of [his] favorite punk/hardcore groups of all time”.
This 15×23 silkscreened print based on a photograph by Atiba Jefferson is now available exclusively at the Bad Brains Official Store. 175 of the prints are signed by both Darryl Jenifer and Shepard Fairey and each print also comes with a digital download of an unreleased Darryl Jenifer track. Limited to one per customer.
Bad Brains will be releasing “Lost Riffs and Dubs”, a collection of unreleased live recordings from their classic years, on ROIR later this year.
