Bad Religion plans national tour for fall

Bad Religion rocks, so it's little wonder that they've survived so long on the scene. I'm totally thrill with this triple-threat bill with Gallows and The Briggs! ~M

Punk veterans Bad Religion will embark on a national tour this fall in support of their critically acclaimed album, New Maps of Hell. Currently wrapping up their headlining stint at the 2007 Van's Warped Tour, the band will take their incendiary live show on the road this fall with labelmates Gallows and punk act The Briggs in tow. The tour will kick off on September 29th in Queen Creek, Arizona and culminate October 20th in Sayreville, New Jersey.
From Greg Graffin's soaring soulful vocals to Brooks Wackerman's tight machine gun drums, Bad Religion's highly energetic live shows command attention and prove the group's unwavering ability to rock after 27 years as a band.
Bad Religion's fourteenth studio album, New Maps of Hell, "revels in roaring guitar riffs and pounding drum beats as it explores 'bittersweet idealism' and 'guarded hope' on tracks with a big, anthem-like feel" (Dallas Morning News). Produced by Joe Barresi (Tool, Queens of the Stone Age, Melvins), the album "does an admirable job proving that the L.A. sextet is still the epitome of a tempestuous, polemically driven punk band" (LA Weekly).
Check out one of Southern California's most beloved and influential band's this fall when Bad Religion tours the US with the notorious Gallows and The Briggs.
