Legendary punk bands Bad Religion and Social Distortion are teaming up for a co-headlining 2024 US tour. The outing will see Social D performing their classic debut album Mommy’s Little Monster in its entirety to mark its 40th anniversary.

Artist pre-sales start today (December 12th) at noon local time via Ticketmaster using the code Suffer or Ballandchain.

Bad Religion timed the release of an outtake from their 2019 album, Age of Unreason, to President Joe Biden’s inauguration. Although the track, “Emancipation of the Mind,” still bears frontman Greg Graffin’s trademark acerbic smirk, he’s included a rare glimmer of hope (at least rare for the decades-old punk band).
His stark descriptions of “walls of suspicion” and “chains of superstition,” amid thwapping drums and upbeat electrostatic guitars, crumble by the time he reaches the surprisingly bright harmonies of the chorus: “The wellspring of true liberty is emancipation of the mind.

“If I can’t make it out of this ditch/I better make a home of it,” Dave Hause sings in his song “The Ditch” off his 2019 album, Kick. It’s a school of thought I’ve been trying to adopt since 2020’s pandemic plotline went off the rails. If this mess isn’t going to end anytime soon — and thanks to good ol’ American dysfunction, that seems to be the case — we have to adapt to living in the ditch.
But that doesn’t mean resignation. Instead, it’s about evolution.

Greenwich Entertainment has released the official trailer for Gordon Lightfoot: If You Could Read My Mind. The upcoming documentary explores the “profound evolution from Christian choirboy to troubled troubadour, international star and beloved Canadian icon with 5 Grammy Nominations and over 10 million albums sold,” according to the press statement.
Gordon Lightfoot is a prolific artist. The trailer opens by telling us he’s recorded over 200 songs to sell those 10 million records. In the 1980s, Sctv did a K-Tel parody commercial called “Gordon Lightfoot Sings Every Song Ever Written.” When it first aired, it seemed like a good excuse to feature Rick Moranis’ mimicry skills, but it was not a random choice. It was also not a mockery of the artist. It was a testament to the music and influence of the Canadian musical icon.

Rush’s Geddy Lee, Sarah McLachlan and Alec Baldwin appear in If You Could Read My Mind, a documentary on Gordon Lightfoot, streaming on-demand this summer.
Directed by Martha Kehoe and Joan Tosoni, the film chronicles present-day Lightfoot performing a show and signing autographs as he fondly looks back on his nearly six-decade career — from his coffeehouse performance days in Ontario, Canada, to his rise to international fame in the Seventies.
“He is one of the greatest examples of timeless singer-songwriter,” Lee says in the clip, sitting alongside his bandmate Alex Lifeson.

In 1993, the members of Weezer traveled to New York to meet Ric Ocasek, who was slated to produce their debut album. “He was one of the most significant icons of our childhood,” says bassist Matt Sharp, who had grown up seeing Ocasek’s hits in rotation on MTV. “I can’t think of videos without thinking of him.”
Arriving at Ocasek’s Manhattan address, the bandmates found themselves entering a stately 1850s townhouse with 20-foot-high ceilings, an elevator, a pink pool table, and portraits of Ocasek done by Andy Warhol hanging on the walls.

Bad Religion envision conspiracy theories as a retro dance craze in their rattling new song, “Do the Paranoid Style.”
“It’s a paranoid style in American politics/Casey Jones, you better watch your apocalypse,” frontman Greg Graffin snarls over a pummeling drum pattern and power chords — a spin on a famous Grateful Dead lyric. “All kinds of wild interpretation/Are open to the paranoid imagination.” Later, he references political division and “Communist plots against the population.”

Los Angeles punk pioneers Bad Religion have been playing for nearly 40 years, but they haven’t lost their urgency: the band just announced they will release their 17th album Age of Unreason on May 3rd on Epitaph Records – an album that the band says directly addresses the “perilous times” the country finds itself in: “The band has always stood for enlightenment values,” co-songwriter and guitarist Brett Gurewitz said in a statement. “Today, these values of truth, freedom, equality, tolerance, and science are in real danger. This record is our response.

Bad Religion observe an American human rights crisis on their surging new song “The Profane Rights of Man.” Frontman Greg Graffin rails against the “criminal” elite over trademark punk riffs, belting, “And so it turns, the bourgeoisie/ The bastard child of democracy/ Morphs into aristocracy.” The sextet build tension throughout the track with half-time drum shifts and wailing guitar solos.
In a statement, Gaffin detailed the song’s inspiration: “Bad Religion’s belief in a secular basis for the protection of human rights for all people.” He added, “Since we...

What do punk rock, evolution, and Christine O'Donnell have in common? One answer might be Greg Graffin. If you are a Bad Religion fan, or a student of Professor Graffin's (yes, professor) perhaps this won't come as a total surprise, but for everyone else we caught up with Graffin, who is just starting his national book tour, to find out exactly where it all intersects.

The Dissent Of Man, the 15th full-length by the punk vets of Bad Religion, is part of a celebration of the band’s 30th anniversary that also includes a live album and a book by frontman Greg Graffin. As such, the disc ought to be a hell-raising affirmation of everything Bad Religion has fought for over the last three decades. Instead, it feels like a victory lap. The 15-song disc starts out with a couple of barn-burners, “The Day The Earth Stalled” and “Only Rain,” that dish up the same brainy, meat-and-potatoes melodic hardcore that Bad Religion perfected long ago ...

Fontana, California — Travis Barker was born in Fontana, making it a sure bet that he felt a sense of homecoming as Blink-182 made their only North American appearance of the year at California's Epicenter 2010 Festival in that very town. The trio's hit-packed set closed the two-day event on Sunday following performances from Rise Against, 30 Seconds to Mars, Against Me! and more.
Afternoon temperatures reached 110 degrees in the racetrack parking lot where Epicenter took place, but the crowd's enthusiasm never seemed to wane, thanks in part to a steady stream of water misters and water cannons. Epicenter 2010 kicked off Saturday with Eminem (in his only West Coast appearance this year), Kiss and reunited alt-rockers Bush, among others.
