H.R.: Singer-Songwriter in New York

About H.R.

H.R. is a vocalist whose work sits at the crossroads of rock and pop, with deep roots in hardcore punk and the reggae-dub tradition. Known for performances connected to Bad Brains and The Human Rights Movement, he brings that history to New York City stages, including sets at Bowery Palace billed as “HR of Bad Brains & The Human Rights Movement.” His approach leans on rhythm and vocal phrasing more than polish. The live focus is direct, favoring intensity over spectacle.
