Bad Religion

Kickass punk band from California. Thye're smart as hell. Here's why: Greg Graffin, the lead singer has PhD in in evolutionary biology from Cornell University. Brett Gurewitz, the guitarist formed Epitaph Records, one of the largest indepdent labels. So they make great muisc and know what theyre talking about. They had a 7-year stint on Atlantic Records they went back to Epitaph in 2001 becuase of poor expourse. They were only called sell outs by Brett Gurewitz, who had left the band when they went major and then rejoined when the came back to Epitaph.
