Rock and Metal Supergroup G.B.I. (Foo Fighters, Anthrax) to Drop Bad Brains Cover 7-Inch Single for Record Store Day


Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl has teamed up with Anthrax’s Scott Ian and Charlie Benante as supergroup G.B.I. to record a cover of the Bad Brains’ 1982 classic “The Regulator” and release it this Record Store Day, 2024 on 4/20/24. Grohl stopped into the middle of the sessions for the new Anthrax record and the trio’s love for Old-School Hardcore and Bad Brains led to the cover being done in two takes at Grohl’s Studio 606. The seven-inch single comes complete with cover art by Benante. Proceeds from G.B.I.’s rendition of “The Regulator” will benefit singer Paul “H.R.” Hudson, who has been suffering from an excruciating type of rare head affliction known as SUNCT headaches for the past decade.Continue reading
