Bad Religion

Bad Religion, an American punk rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1980, has built a four-decade career marked by extensive musical releases and a significant influence within the punk rock genre. After releasing their self-titled six-song EP in 1981 through Epitaph Records, a label founded by band member Brett Gurewitz, punk rock band Bad Religion quickly established their presence in the burgeoning punk scene. The following year, the band released their first full-length album, ‘How Could Hell Be Any Worse?’, which sold approximately 12,000 copies. Following a temporary dissolution after their keyboard-driven album ‘Into the Unknown’ in 1983, Bad Religion reformed in 1986, returning to their signature sound with the critically acclaimed album ‘Suffer’ in 1988, garnering positive reviews in the independent music press.

In 2020, the band released their autobiography, ‘Do What You Want: The Story of Bad Religion,’ and the single ‘What Are We Standing For,’ concluding with ‘Emancipation of the Mind’ in 2021.
