This year, seminal punk act Bad Religion will celebrate their 40th anniversary. To commemorate the occasion, the band have announced the release of their first-ever autobiography.
DO WHAT YOU WANT: The Story of Bad Religion is set for release on August 18th. The book is set to span the band’s inception as “teenagers experimenting in a San Fernando Valley garage dubbed “The Hell Hole” to headlining major music festivals around the world.”
The book will feature interviews with the band’s core members throughout the years— Greg Graffin, Brett Gurewitz, Jay Bentley, and Brian Baker — and never-before-seen photography. The book is co-authored by revered music journalist Jim Ruland.
