Career
Brett Gurewitz, an 18-year-old boy from Woodland Hills, formed Bad Religion with Greg Graffin (vocals), Jay Ziskrout (drums), and Jay Bentley (bass). Both four children attended El Camino Real High School. They began writing songs and appeared in their first concert as a warm-up for Social Distortion soon after. Bad Religion released a six-song self-titled EP in 1981, which was then released in a 7" version but soon afterward, it was re-issued as a 12". Compact cassettes were also produced, but they were not common.
How Could Hell Be Any Worse?, Bad Religion's first full-length collection, was released in 1982. Ziskrout left the band right away and was replaced by Pete Finestone as recording sessions began. How Can Hell Be Any Worse? Was cited as one of Bad Religion's most influential works. Gurewitz's father's $3,000 loan was used to finance the purchase. When it hit 10,000 copies in less than a year, it was surprising. The sound of the album had been greatly enhanced from the self-titled EP. Greg Hetson (of Circle Jerks fame) played a guitar solo on "Part III," although not officially recognized as a member of the band.
Bad Religion's second full length, Into the Unknown, was released in 1983, but the album's poor sales made it less popular. It was a major change from their previous style, delving into more adamant in keyboards. Bentley and Finestone both left the band and were joined by Paul Dedona on bass and Davy Goldman on drums when recording one song. The album Into the Unknown is out of print, but it is included in the 30th anniversary box set.
Bad Religion was established (without Gurewitz) in 1985 to the Known) after the release of Into the Unknown, but Bad Religion reformed (without Gurewitz) to produce the 1985 EP Back to the Known. The EP features the band's punk rock roots as well as influences from more recent bands such as Hüsker Dü and The Descendents. Bad Religion went on hiatus again shortly after.
After the How Could Hell Be Any Worse?
The group, which also included Hetson, was revived in 1986, and Bad Religion's Suffer, a 1988 hit record, was released. The album was a comeback for Bad Religion, as well as a watershed for the Southern California punk sound popularized by Gurewitz's label Epitaph Records. Before Finestone left the company in early 1991, the reunion bandleaders released two more popular albums, No Control (1989) and Against the Grain (1990).Bad Religion brought Finestone's Finestone with Bobby Schayer, who released their next album, Generator, in 1991, but was forced to delay its unveiling until a year later. Bad Religion also shot their first music video, "Atomic Garden," which was also their first song to be released as a single. The band dropped Epitaph Records and became Atlantic Records, releasing their new album Recipe for Hate in 1993. This was the first Bad Religion album to reach any Billboard charts, and two videos for the album, "American Jesus" and "Struck a Nerve," were produced, although moderately popular.
Bad Religion came to prominence with their forthcoming album "Infected" and "21st Century (Digital Boy), which are both common concert staples. Gurewitz left Bad Religion early in the 90s to concentrate on Epitaph's future, citing the increasing amount of time he was spending at Epitaph's offices as one of the country's biggest bands of the 1990s. Gurewitz was replaced by Brian Baker on the Stranger Than Fiction tour, and Bad Religion released two albums without him.
Gurewitz reunited with Graffin in 1999 and co-wrote the song "Believe It," which appeared on Bad Religion's 11th album The New America (2000). Gurewitz was reinstated to the band and Bad Religion resigned to Epitaph two years after parting with Atlantic Records. Schayer left the band at the time and was replaced by Brooks Wackerman. Bad Religion produced and released the albums The Process of Belief (2002), The Empire Strikes First (2004), The Dissent of Man (2006), and True North (2013), the latter focusing on his first appearance as a lead vocalist on the track Dharma and the Bomb. Gurewitz rarely performs live with the band due to his Epitaph Records involvement, and he limits his involvement in songwriting and recording. He appears on television shows near his hometown Los Angeles (e.g.) and does occasional live appearances with the band. He appears on the band's DVD Live at the Palladium.
Gurewitz was recruited by 12 Rounds member and Nine Inch Nails collaborator Atticus Ross and his younger brother Leopold to play guitar and bass in a electro-hardcore project dubbed Error in 2003. The only one released to date is a self-titled EP, which was released in 2004. Following the release of the EP, Error was thought to be looking for a full-time vocalist for touring and a full length debut; however, the project's future has been a point of discussion on several internet message boards; Error released "Wild World," one of the Birthday Party's release of "Reality the Bats: The Birthday Party" was released on April 4, 2006. Since being on hiatus, Error has been on hold, and it is unknown if the project will return someday.
