By 1982, they were a regular act at the New York venue CBGB . Dr. Know recalled, “We played CB’s every friggin’ night. This whole ‘Sunday matinee’ thing is from us. When we first played, nobody was there. It’s like, ‘Who are these niggers?’ And we’re in their face, killing it. We got a weekend day, and by then a little buzz started happening.” Their self-titled debut album was released on the ROIR label, originally on cassette only, in 1982, followed a year later by Rock for Light , produced by Ric Ocasek of The Cars . In 1985, the Bad Brains song ” Pay to Cum ” was featured in Martin Scorsese ‘s film After Hours .
