HR – Keep Out Of Reach – Compact Disc

Keep Out of Reach is a single by HR, the frontman of the legendary reggae and punk band Bad Brains. HR, whose real name is Paul Hudson, is known for his distinctive vocal style and charismatic stage presence. The album was released in 1986.

HR’s solo work often incorporates reggae, punk, and rock influences, and “Keep Out of Reach” is no exception. The single showcases his unique blend of genres, with a focus on reggae rhythms and heartfelt lyrics. HR’s solo material allowed him to explore his musical interests beyond the scope of Bad Brains’ hardcore punk sound.

HR’s contributions to the punk and reggae scenes have left an indelible mark on both genres. Bad Brains, the band he co-founded, is considered one of the pioneers of hardcore punk, fusing rapid-fire punk aggression with reggae grooves. HR’s solo endeavors, including “Keep Out of Reach,” provide further insight into his musical versatility and artistic expression.

Keep out of Reach slots in neatly aside Bad Brains’ I Against I in its slightly more mainstream but still pretty strong punch. The title track itself appears in two versions, the main one mixing hints of reggae into the music, but mostly keeping that atmosphere with H.R.’s fine singing voice. Calmer dub beats slot alongside some soaring guitar, especially toward the suddenly all-the-more-anthemic ending, and the whole is a pleasant listen indeed.

The second version is explicitly listed a dub take, though most of the echo and treatment is applied to the vocals; aside from extra swirling guitar here and there, the music is pretty well unchanged. “Power of the Trinity,” meanwhile, is a fine praisesong for Haile Selassie, shifting between stop-start thrash, warmer reggae grooves, more cascading guitar swells, and some highly wacky humor, H.R. is always the perfect vocalist at any point.
