BAD RELIGION TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM

  • BAD RELIGION TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM
    POSTED

    Preeminent punk bandBad Religionwill release their new albumTrue Norththis January 25th onEpitaph Records. In a world still brimming with rampant anti-intellectualism, inequality and oppression, the bands signature brand of sonically charged humanist dissent seems as relevant as ever. On their newest record, the storied band deliberately revisits and refines the powerful and melodic Southern California sound they helped to define.

    We went back to our original mission statement of short concise bursts of melody and thought, co-songwriter and guitarist Brett Gurewitz explains. The intent was to record stripped down punk songs without sacrificing any conceptual density.



    The albums first single is a propulsive anthem succinctly called F*ck You. As the bands singer and co-songwriter Greg Graffin explains, If any band should have a song with that title it should be us. It just sounds like a perfect Bad Religion song.

    Produced by the band and Joe Barresi,True North celebrates the stirring power of cogent punk in the face of pain and adversity. The result is one of the bands most emotionally accessible albums to date.

    I think working within certain restrictions took away the mental aspect and let us devote more attention to conveying feeling, Graffin says. We all go through pain and the best elements of punk give us hope in those dark times.

    While some tracks such as Robin Hood In Reverse, “Land of Endless Greed” and Dharma And The Bomb ardently address pressing world issues, others like Hello Cruel World veer into a far more expressive terrain. The albums title song True North utilizes a wall of guitars and charged beat to explore issues of alienation and loss informed by Graffins recent life experiences.

    The song is written from the perspective of a kid who is running away, Graffin explains. He says Im out of here, Im off to find true north. Its about recognizing that you dont fit in and trying to find a truth and purpose. Those are all classic punk themes.

    I think we both really responded to the challenge of writing short and fast songs on this record, Gurewitz adds. The constraints set us free. Like moves in a game of chess, there are really as many variations as there are stars in the galaxy.

    True North is available for pre-order now.
