Bad Religion Reveal When They’re Going into the Studio

Recently, word got out that punk legends Bad Religion would release a new album at some point in 2017. That point has been further backed up after bassist Jay Bentley gave TMDQA more detail regarding the band’s recording timeline.

(The quotes below were translated from Portuguese to English and adjusted to flow properly.)

“We are thinking of starting later this year, going into the studio, so that’s why we have some tour dates that do not have really any other purpose than to make the band learning to run with [new drummer] Jamie [Miller.]

Continued Bentley: “Then [we’ll] enter the studio at the end of the year and probably release an album early next year. This is part of a plan. Plans change, especially when you have a 36 years career – you never really know what you will do. I’m usually the man with the calendar, so I have to block the agenda and see something there by October, then October is scratched in pen. But everything that comes after that is ‘Who Knows?'”

Bad Religion’s most recent original studio album was 2013’s True North.
