Bad Religion

Alternative-Rock Punk-Rock band formed in 1980 in San Fernando Valley, California USA, by lead singer Greg Graffin, guitarist Brett Gurewitz, bassist Jay Bentley and drummer Jay Ziskrout.

They began playing in hardcore-punk local clubs and released the self-titled 6-track EP on Epitaph Records, a label which was founded by Gurewitz.
In 1982 Peter Finestone joined the band replacing Ziskrout on drums, Bad Religion along with the newcomer, issued their debut full-length album, "How Could Hell Be Any Worse?"; the next release, 1983's "Into The Unknown" didn't achieve the same level of success.
The major change in the line-up came during the following three years, the band recorded in 1984 a 5-track EP titled "Back To The Known", but the come back album saw the light in late 1987, at the time the revitalized Bad Religion featured Graffin, Gurewitz, guitarist Greg Hetson, Bentley and Finestone, the band's third LP, "Suffer", was widely acclaimed by critics.
The quintet released "No Control" in late 1989 and "Against The Grain" a year later.
After Bobby Schayer replaced Finestone behind the drum kit the band recorded and released in the spring of 1992 "Generator".
One year later, Bad Religion, signed to Atlantic Records who released their major-label debut album, "Recipe For Hate", which expanded their popularity in Europe.
The next release, "Stranger Than Fiction", took the band for the first time into The Billboard Top 200 chart, the record contained their first Modern Rock hit single , "21st Century (Digital Boy)", which rose to #11 spot, also the title-track and "Infected" ranked in the top 30 in the same chart.
Gurewitz left the band in 1994 to work at Epitaph full-time after the unexpected success of The Offspring; guitar player Brian Baker joined Bad Religion and in February of 1996 the band released "The Gray Race", it peaked at #56 on The Billboard 200 Albums chart and generated the Billboard's Modern Rock top 40 single, "A Walk".
Two years later appeared the minor hit "No Substance" followed by the 2000's "The New America" which was produced by Todd Rundgren.
In the summer of 2001, Brett Gurewitz returned to the line-up, the group, started working with the new drummer Brooks Wackerman on the next album, "The Process Of Belief" which was issued the following year via Epitaph, it peaked at #49 on The Billboard 200 chart spawning "Sorrow" which ranked in the top 40 on Modern Rock Tracks chart.
The six-piece outfit, made its return in mid-2004 with the release of the 13th studio album, "The Empire Strikes First"; the record, cracking the top 40 of The Billboard Top 200 Albums list, became their best chart-placing to date; the main single, "Los Angeles Is Burning", made top 40 on Billboard's Modern Rock chart.
