The Official Word : Bad Religion returns to Epitaph! This statement just issued by Greg Graffin: "Although Bad Religion has had some great success over the last three album cycles, none reigns more triumphant than that of our current accomplishment. Having Brett rejoin the band, and being back home at Epitaph are personally more significant to me than almost anything we have ever achieved as a band. There is something tremendous about this state of affairs. On a personal level, the sense of rejuvenation in my songwriting cannot be overstated. I have felt a bit like the last three albums were missing a cylinder at times. In isolation, I sometimes lose sight of who I am writing for. But when Brett is a part of the songwriting, I don't really care who else is going to hear the song, I focus on presenting it to him, and we have a healthy competitiveness that has always worked in favor of the BR fans, we simply try to out-do one another with each successive song. BR albums are simply more satisfying to me when our songwriting is combined to produce a whole work. But aside from the professional logistics of our current situation, it is also a time of great warmth and familiarity. Making albums with Brett is what we have done together since we were teenagers, sketching the Epitaph logo on scratchpads in my mom's living room after rehearsal, singing harmonies together in the "Vanagen" on our California punk-club tours, writing songs on napkins in Denny's after shows. Our past was unique and wonderful, our reunion is equally so. It is in this spirit that I am so excited about our next album and the road ahead." We are all elated at the fact that Bad Religion is back on Epitaph. As soon as we have more news on the situation, we will report it here…
