NEW ALBUMS
BAD RELIGION – AGE OF UNREASON
If you’re familiar with punk legends, Bad Religion, you’re fully aware of what to expect from Age of Unreason.
It’s their first album since 2013, which means it’s their first of Trump’s administration. As guitarist, Brett Gurewitz laid it out for LA Weekly in July 2018:
We’re writing for a new album, recording this fall or late summer. No release date announced yet, but we should have an album’s worth of ‘F*ck Trump’ songs pretty soon. It’s exactly what we need.
If that’s not your thing, skip ahead to Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes.
