BAD RELIGION: New Album Title Revealed
June 28, 2010Bassist Jay Bentley of punk rock legends BAD RELIGION revealed in a new video interview (see below) conducted this past Saturday (June 26) at the Azkena Rock Festival in Vitoria, Spain that the band's new studio album will be titled "The Dissent Of Man".
Working again with producer Joe Barresi (QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, TOOL),BAD RELIGION entered the studio armed with 16 songs that are filled with deeply personal experiences, cautionary tales and a developing worldview, spanning the gauntlet from their signature high energy punk rock to a more introspective melodic sound.
"We wouldn't embark on this new creative endeavor, Brett [Gurewitz, guitar] wouldn't have embarked on parenthood, I wouldn't have embarked on writing a book, if we hadn't reached a place in our lives where we felt the confidence that we had something to offer and that's what these songs represent," said Graffin. "They represent a new found confidence that things are starting to make sense to us."
"Being a new parent has colored my whole world," added Gurewitz. "As a result I've written songs that at least for me, are somewhat less angsty and more introspective and vulnerable. The experience has emboldened me to take some creative risks as a songwriter that I've not allowed myself to take before."
Risks that nevertheless have already been embraced by the band's passionate fans, as evidenced by the overwhelming response to two new songs, "Resist Stance" and "Won't Somebody". The songs were debuted during a series of live shows celebrating BAD RELIGION's anniversary, recorded and given away as part of a free digital album, "30 Years Live", as a thank-you to their fans for their support over the last three decades. Rabid fans immediately lit up blogs and message boards with raves about the new material and excitement over the new record, which will be out this fall. In the meantime, BAD RELIGION continue to tour the world, bringing their amazing live show to more new countries and playing more shows with each passing year.
