Epicenter 2010 Band Spotlight: Bad Religion
09/09/10

 

Bad Religion is a punk rock band that was formed in 1979 in Woodland Hills by Jay Bentley (bass), Greg Gaffin (vocals), Brett Gurewitz (guitar), and Jay Ziskrout (drums). They are often credited for being involved in the revival of punk rock and inspiring several subsequent punk band during the late 1980s, as well as influencing a large number of other punk and rock musicians throughout their career. In the 31 years since its inception, Bad Religion has had numerous lineup changes, and Graffin has been the only constant member, although the band currently features two of the other original members. To date, Bad Religion has released 14 studio albums (with a 15th album due Sept. 28th). They are particularly known for their use of soaring 3 part vocal harmonies (which they refer to in their album liner notes as the "oozin' aahs"), wide vocabulary, and political or religious commentary. Their lyrics often relate to matters of social responsibility. This will be the first album in their history, that he line - up has not changed. Bad Religion is playing the 2nd day of Epicenter 2010.
