As teenage punks living in the suburbs surrounding Los Angeles, Bad Religion offered a musical counterpoint to a dystopian culture of consumerism and anti intellectualism. For more than three decades, the band is at the forefront of melodic and politically conscious punk rock and has become a major force in reinvigorating the modern punk movement. Bad Religion has maintained a worldwide following of young and old who continue to embrace a music that gives voice to, and celebrates, their dissent. Their most recent album, True North, released in 2013, revisits and refines the powerful and melodic Southern California sound they helped to define on albums such as Suffer, No Control and Recipe For Hate. Bad Religion’s own label, Epitaph, has produced many of their followers such as NOFX, Rancid and Pennywise.
