BAD RELIGION ALBUM IN SEPT

 BAD RELIGION CULMINATE 30TH ANNIVERSARY WITH 15TH STUDIO ALBUM IN SEPTEMBER   Celebrating three decades of influential, thought provoking and groundbreaking punk rock, Bad Religion will release their fifteenth studio album, The Dissent of Man, on September 27.  The album¹s first single ³The Devil in Stitches² made its debut on the world famous KROQ 106.7 in Los Angeles on Tuesday and can be heard now at www.myspace.com/badreligion <http://www.myspace.com/badreligion> .  Fans can preorder The Dissent of Man now at www.BadReligionStore.com <http://www.BadReligionStore.com> .   Produced by Joe Barresi (Queens of the Stone Age, Tool), The Dissent of Man finds Bad Religion pushing the boundaries of their music as much today as they did in their formative years as a genre defining punk band.  Over the course of making the album, primary songwriters Greg Graffin and Brett Gurewitz¹s songwriting was informed by life changing events, with Graffin writing his forthcoming book ³Anarchy Evolution² (out Sept 28) and Gurewitz embarking on parenthood again.   ³These are some of my favorite songs I¹ve ever written,² says Gurewitz.  ³A few of them took me way outside my comfort zone as a writer to a place I haven¹t gone since Recipe or Stranger than Fiction.²   The result is one of the band¹s most forward thinking and musically varied albums ever.  The Dissent of Man is not only a snapshot of the band¹s personal experiences of the past years but also of their continued maturity in songwriting, capturing an array of styles ranging from blazing punk rock songs like the opener ³The Day That the Earth Stalled² and ³Meeting of the Minds² and classic rock-tinged cuts like ³Cyanide² and ³Turn Your Back on Me² to radio rock ready hits like the first single ³The Devil in Stiches.²   ³I feel like the last couple of records have been amongst our most conservative, never straying too far from a Bad Religion sound,² adds Gurewitz.  ³Whereas on this one we¹re taking the songs to a lot of different places, exploring our influences and trying out some new things in a way we haven¹t done in years.²   The Dissent of Man is a testament to why Bad Religion has remained relevant for the better part of three decades.  Already having cemented their place in history as a groundbreaking band who helped create a movement in Los Angeles with classic releases like How Could Hell Be Any Worse?, Suffer, Recipe for Hate, Stranger Than Fiction and Process of Belief, Bad Religion continue to inspire and create with a unique style that continues to cross boundaries and transcends genres.   As Bad Religion wraps up their 30th anniversary, they open the next chapter of their storied career with The Dissent of Man.
