Jay Bentley talks next Bad Religion album

Bad Religion bassist Jay Bentley recently spoke with Ground Control magazine on the band's upcoming fifteenth studio album. His comments echoed those of Brett Gurewitz on the same subject a few months ago.

Not early for sure. If we were going to have it out early next year, we'd have to be working on it now and there isn't enough material yet for that. All we've talked about is Greg saying that while he's teaching there wouldn't be any 28-day stints at the House of Blues. We've made no commitments to doing anything and Greg said he wanted to take that time to write and Brett agreed so we could possibly get into the studio in April and the release would be later in the year under those circumstances.

The band is expected to start recording the follow up to New Maps of Hell next spring with a summer release likely.
