Bad Religion has announced a handful of US dates to bookend their upcoming co-headlining Canadian tour with the Dropkick Murphys.

Though the band has not released an album since 2004's The Empire Strikes First, there have been a number of releases from the band and band members including the much anticipated Live at the Palldium DVD, and frontman Greg Graffin's first solo album in almost a decade, Cold as the Clay. The album was produced by Bad Religion guitarist, Brett Gurewitz.

Word is that the band is also planning a world tour in 2007/2008 and a new album has been rumoured for some time now.

In related news, the Toronto Sun, a local paper near the Punknews.org Compound, recently spoken with the good doctor Graffin, and you can check that out here.
