Legendary Bad Brains bassist Darryl Jenifer returns with a new EP, delivering the unmistakable D.C. hardcore sound on the brand-new track "F.A.L.S", paired with a super special jazz version of "Sacred Love II" with appearances by giants like John Medeski.

This release is part of a new collaboration with Dark Matter Coffee that, in addition to a 7” vinyl of fresh recordings, includes limited-edition Bad Brains coffee bags and coffee cans, all highlighting Darryl’s original artwork!

To celebrate, Dark Matter is throwing an in-person event at their Lower East Side cafe, Adios Amigos, and a show Friday, Nov. 21 at NYC's The Bowery Electric — featuring Darryl Jenifer’s Palm Beach with support from Honeychild & The Biz (The 1865).

"Every adversity brings with it the seed of an equivalent advantage. Positive Mental Attitude every day, let love lead the way." - Darryl Jenifer

Produced by Angelo Glaviano, CT State Middlesex professor, and Daniel Nocera, coordinator of the Center for New Media Productions, this film captures the voices and experiences of Sicilian immigrants and their families who left Melilli, Sicily, to build new lives in Middletown, Connecticut.

..When Mr. Angelo Magnano arrived in Middletown, from Melilli, in 1895, only a handful of Italians lived in this city of about 9,000 residents. By 1907, just 12 years later, over 3,000 had arrived in Middletown from Melilli, making up almost a quarter of the city's population.


By the 1960s, about 10,000 Italian Americans - the vast majority from Melilli- lived in Middletown, about one-third of the city's population. And, by the end of the 20th century, nearly half of Middletown's population could trace at least one ancestor back to Melilli. The immigrants from Melilli, and their descendants, truly made the history and culture of Middletown as we know it today.

Come see this remarkable story, in their own voices, on November 13!
