Teoman's Band of the Month - Bad Religion

Lemme put it this way, Bad Religion is to Punk Rock as what The Clash is to Punk. Bad Religion are punk rock veterans just like NOFX and The Offspring. Such bands would not have started without Bad Religion, just like I wouldn't've listened to punk rock without them. They are one of the most respected and esteemed punk rock bands out there today, and you just can't ignore them.

Bad Religion are:

Greg Graffin (vocals)
Brian Baker (guitar)
Brett Gurewitz (guitar)
Jay Bentley (bass)
Brooks Wackerman (drums)

They are punk rock. Final point. Their music is straightforward, no enhancements, just drums and guitar, and of course lyrics. They are true punk rockers, they dress like they want to, they don't take no crap from nobody, they inspire aspiring punkers, and are a reference in modern punk rock.
Brett Gurewitz owns the record label Epitaph Records, which was the label Bad Religion created in the 1980s just to sell their records. It is now a major punk rock label which produces some of the best known punk rock bands out there. Gurewitz has also produced tonnes of CDs including NOFX's first records until Ribbed, some records for Rancid, Pennywise, Millencolin, and of course some of Bad Religion's best albums.
Shame on me I haven't seen them live yet and I know it would be a good concert just like for the Vandals. If it weren't for Crazy Taxi I wouldn't've discovered the Offspring nor Bad Religion, hence punk rock, hence rock, hence metal, hence just modern music. Bad Religion doesn't mean as much as the Offspring to me, but it sure does mean a helluva lot, and I'm happy to have started listening to good music with this band.
Praise Bad Religion this month on Goreface69, you unworthy puny little souls!
