LA based punk band that you either love madly, hate passionately or find exceedingly dull. Their songwriting team consists of a UCLA life science professor, and the president of Epitaph Records who tend to use a heightened and advanced vocabulary when coming up with their poignant socio-political and pseudo-philosophical lyrics. Their lineup also consists of some of punk rock's finest musicians including Greg Hetson of Circle Jerks fame, Brian Baker of Minor Threat/Dag Nasty fame and Brooks Wackerman from Suicidal Tendencies. They have been around for approximately twenty eight years.
"Look around and ask someone if you are alive,
you're a sidewalk cipher speaking prionic jive.
So, I give you me,
I give you nothing!"
-- "Give You Nothing"
Me: 'prionic jive?' Must be a Bad Religion song...

Punk Rock's most important band. One of a few punk bands to sign to a major label and maintain both credability and integrity. Most known for their biting yet truthful political and social commentary. My favorite band of all time, and definately the best concert I have ever been to.

Like just about everyone else has said... the best Punk Band ever. Hell, forget labels. One of the best Bands ever. All those poser bands coming out now-a-days don't even compare and it makes me sick how little recognition Bad Religion gets. Known for their inspirational and political lyrics, Bad Relgion is the r0x0r.

One of the best punk bands still around today. Definatly 1 of my favourite political punk bands, both musicaly and in terms of lyrical truth and thoughtfulness. Normaly each song has a powerful moral/politcal message.
E.g When all soliders lay their weapons down, or when all kings and all queens relinquish their crowns, or when the only true messiah rescues us from ourselves, then it's easy to imagine there will be sorrow no more.

The best political punk out there. After 25 years, the balding band is still holding their own on the Warped Tour, and Brett Gurewitz is sexier than ever.
Bad Religion is smarter than you.
