Back in the time before
MTV, there was a thing called "passion for
music". Now, some of you may not know what that is and I can't blame you, for you have been victimized by
MTV through bain washing. Anyways in this age of "musical passion", there existed a band called Bad Religion, who were very young at the time. They would form Epitaph Records, an independent record label that gave creative control to its bands not seen in like, forever. This record label would produce amazing bands such as NOFX, Bad Religion, Rancid, Dropkick Murphys, Offspring, and Pennywise. This record label was like the mecca, or holy grail, of aspiring
punk rock bands of the 90s. These bands didn't need publicity, to be expoited by
MTV. They proved that you can live and be in an indie band at the same time. Now, I don't know what went wrong with
punk rock along the lines, but these new bands just suck.
To make a long
story short, just get Bad Religion'
s newest cd, The Empire Strikes First, and you will never go Good
Charlotte again.
