Leave a comment

Social DistortionSocial Distortion have updated their Twitter with this news: “The album is tracked… finishing up writing and getting ready to head back into the studio to record vocals.”

The band, who recently signed to Epitaph Records, will release their new album in the fall. The record will be the band’s first of all new material since 2004’s Sex, Love and Rock ‘n’ Roll. It will also be their first release with a new lineup consisting of Mike Ness (vocals, guitar), Jonny “2 Bags” Wickersham (guitar) and Brent Harding (bass). There has been no confirmation whether drummer Atom Willard (who left last March) or his replacement Scott Reeder has been involved in the recording.

In addition to a new album, Social Distortion will tour the U.S. this summer with Dan Sartain and The Action Design. The tour kicks off July 27 in Poughkeepsie, NY and makes seven stops in the Northeast before the band heads to Chicago for an August 7 main stage performance at this year’s Lollapalooza. Dates with Dan Sartain and The Action Design resume in Green Bay, Wisconsin on August 8. Check out those dates here.

Jay Bentley talks about new Bad Religion album

Leave a comment

In a new interview, Bad Religion‘s Jay Bentley provides an update on the band’s new album and also hints at what kind of sound we can expect:

We’re probably just about at the halfway point. In a typical Bad Religion way, the songs are coming together. We’re throwing around album titles and visual ideas. It’s kind of how we’ve been making things for thirty years. Probably at the very last minute, we’ll come up with an album title and some photograph, sequence the record and it will come out.

I’ve heard Greg and Brett both saying that if our last three records were the ‘Suffer’, ‘No Control’ and ‘Against the Grain’ of the 2000s, then this would be ‘Recipe for Hate’. I said, “You’re leaving ‘Generator’ out” and Brett said, “Yeah but that’s intentional.” Then, listening to the material, it sort of is ‘Generator’ mixed in with ‘Recipe for Hate’. There’s gonna be a lot of stuff that’s gonna surprise people on this record.

The band released a free live album last week. Thanks to TheBRPage for the link.
