Bad Religion celebrates their forty years of making music with โDecades;โ a four-episode online streaming event captured live at The Roxy Theatre in Hollywood, California. The band felt it important to commemorate the conclusion of 2020 as a strange moment in history when they reached that 40-year milestone. The celebratory episodes will include live performance footage, exclusive interviews, and a peek at their rehearsals leading up to the taping of โDecades.โ Bad Religion will participate in an accompanying live chat during the premiere of each episode. Show specific merchandise will be available for sale on the Decades NoCap Shows page.
Singer and co-songwriter Greg Graffin discussed their motivation, โI can speak for the whole band when I say that we were so disappointed to not be able to tour this year. It is our fans and all those concerts we play each year that provide the life-force of Bad Religion. Decades allows new fans as well as those who were there at the beginning to get a rich overview of our entire career and witness the changes in songwriting and performance styles at each stage of our evolution.โ
The โ80s โ Bad Religion perform songs from โHow Could Hell Be Any Worse,โ โSuffer,โ and โNo Control.โ They discuss what it was like being young punks in a world of Pacman, Reaganomics, and Televangelism.
The โ90โs โ Bad Religion perform songs from โAgainst The Grain,โ โGenerator,โ โRecipe For Hate,โ โStranger Than Fiction,โ โThe Gray Race,โ and โNo Substance.โ This decade cemented their position as one of the most influential and prolific bands of our time, but it didnโt come easy or without cost; the band discusses the growing pains and lessons learned.
The โ00s โ Bad Religion perform songs from โThe New America,โ โThe Process of Belief,โ โThe Empire Strikes First,โ and โNew Maps of Hell.โ Returning home and charging forward into a new millennium, Bad Religion continued to awe with their prowess, releasing some of their most beloved material to date.
The โ10s โ Bad Religion perform songs from โThe Dissent of Man,โ โTrue North,โ and โAge Of Unreason.โ The Covid-19 pandemic cut short their plans to tour in support of โThe Age Of Unreasonโ and are now performing material never seen live before. The band discusses the gratitude they live with every day looking back on 40 years of being Bad Religion and the legacy they are still actively creating.
