About the Book

"At his peak, H.R. was the greatest living front man in the history of rock n roll. No one came even closeȔNO ONEȔ& I mean that 1%. It was simply awe-inspiring; you had to see it IN PERSON to believe and understand it. But H.R. is a complex personȔthere are many, many stories about him, some of which I have been told by people close to him over the years, & some from strangers. There is a mythology built up around Bad Brains and this man in particular; a word-of-mouth portrait of a shaman, trickster, humanitarian, shyster, and just flat-out crazy person (crazy as in mentally ill, not the good kind). This just-released book, by Howie Abrams & James Lathos, is an unflinching oral history of H.R., his involvement with Bad Brains, & his struggles... I highly recommend it." ȔD. Randall Blythe, Lamb of God, via Instagram

The first fully authorized biography of one of rocks most enigmatic singers is a thoroughly uncensored rollercoaster ride through a riotous, tumultuous and utterly singular life and career. This gripping oral history features H.R. himself and the people who know him best, including Ian MacKaye, Questlove and members of Sublime and the Deftones.

The spiritual leader of Bad Brains was one of the most iconic and legendary front men in punk rock and hardcore. Paul "H.R." Hudson launched his unique, ferocious vocal assault and dynamic physical showmanship with love and Rasta in his heart, along with a hopefulness seldom found in punk.

His journey has been riddled with unprecedented volatility: drugs, violence, disappearances and a debilitating mental illness. The disorder was so powerfulȔand the suffering so severeȔthat its difficult to fathom how he even survived.

How could one so tremendously troubled produce such an incredible body of work and have made such an impact?

Finding Joseph I features interviews with H.R.s family, bandmates past and present, friends, and those he has influenced and inspired. Interviewees include members of Bad Brains, Guns N Roses, Black Flag, Living Colour, 311, Fishbone, the Wailers, Cro-Mags, Dead Prez, Murphys Law, P.O.D., Michael Franti & Spearhead and many more. Packed with many rare and never-before-seen images, Finding Joseph I is the definitive account of the punk rock icon.

Howie Abrams co-authored The Merciless Book of Metal Lists and Misfit Summer Camp: 2 Years on the Road with the Vans Warped Tour.

James Lathos is a director. His documentary debut is Finding Joseph I: The Story of Paul "H.R." Hudson.
