Bad Religion release new album and music video
Wednesday 27th February 2013 | slavica
Bad Religion,the eminent Punk artists that influenced the generations of musicians and wrote the whole chapter of Punk history, have released the new album called the "True North".This is the sixteenth album for this legendary band who have been Rock'n'Rolling for the last 30 years.
The first time I heard Bad Religion, I was a 15-year-old punk rocker hungry for a new sound that would speak the language of my emotions and thoughts. I accidentally stumbled onto Generator, their album from 1992 and I fell in love.I was stunned by their sound. It’s best described as a fine fusion between fast melodic guitar playing, harmonic backgrounds and provocative lyrics. The lyrics spoke of the burning need for us to be more aware of socio-cultural issues affecting the world. Isn't that what every kid growing up needs to hear? A bit of idealism combined with bravery and wholehearted energy! Unfortunately my love affair with Bad Religion started in the last century, which makes me an old lady, but luckily they're still going strong due to their never ending inspiration to make great music. The proof is in their latest album that was just released.
The new release consistently follows Bad Religion’s musical path. It’s the same old recognisable sound that we all love. “We went back to our original mission statement of short concise bursts of melody and thought,” co-songwriter and guitarist Brett Gurewitz explains. He continues: “The intent was to record stripped down punk songs without sacrificing any conceptual density.”
Regardless if you are a fan who has been following them for decades or you are just about to become one, True North is a real rock and roll treat that will ensure you a great musical experience, and through its lyrical expression, give you something to think about! Enjoy!
