In an exciting announcement that has sent waves through the punk rock community, legendary band Bad Religion has revealed plans to release a brand-new album before the end of 2025. The album, which marks the band’s first full-length project in several years, promises to be a bold and innovative addition to their already impressive discography. Known for their insightful lyrics, politically charged themes, and timeless punk sound, Bad Religion is set to deliver an album that pushes the boundaries of their genre.
The new album, whose title has yet to be revealed, is expected to feature a mix of hard-hitting tracks and thought-provoking anthems, staying true to the band’s signature style while incorporating fresh influences. “This album is a reflection of where we are as a band and as individuals. We’ve always strived to evolve while staying true to our roots, and this album is no different,” said Greg Graffin, the band’s frontman, in a statement to the press. “Our goal is to create something that resonates with both longtime fans and new listeners. We’re excited to share it with the world.”
While details on the album’s content are still largely under wraps, Bad Religion has teased that the project will explore a range of themes, from political unrest and social justice to personal introspection. Given the band’s reputation for addressing relevant societal issues, fans can expect the new album to be just as politically charged and socially aware as their previous releases.
The announcement also revealed that the album will feature several high-profile collaborations with iconic artists from a variety of genres. Among the names confirmed are punk legends, up-and-coming indie artists, and even some unexpected cross-genre collaborations. Graffin confirmed that these partnerships will bring new sonic textures and ideas into the album, further pushing the envelope of what fans can expect from Bad Religion in 2025.
“We’ve been lucky enough to work with some incredible people in the studio,” Graffin continued. “These collaborations will not only expand the sound of the album but also add layers of creativity that we think our fans will really appreciate. It’s about blending influences, crossing boundaries, and creating something that stands out.”
While the identities of all the collaborators remain a secret, rumors have begun circulating about potential guest appearances. Some sources suggest that punk icons like Tim Armstrong of Rancid and Lars Frederiksen could feature on the album, while others point to collaborations with alternative rock and indie artists such as Phoebe Bridgers and members of The National. Whether these rumors prove true or not, the inclusion of multiple collaborators indicates that Bad Religion’s new album will be anything but ordinary.
The band also shared that the production of the album is well underway, with recording sessions taking place across various studios. In addition to their usual collaborators, the band is working with some fresh new faces behind the production desk to help bring their vision to life. This includes producers who have worked with artists from a wide range of genres, ensuring that the album will have a unique and expansive sound that reflects the ever-evolving landscape of modern rock music.
Bad Religion’s last album, Age of Unreason (2019), was met with critical acclaim for its introspective lyrics and urgent call to action in response to the political climate. Fans are eagerly anticipating what the band has in store this time, as they continue to challenge and inspire listeners with their raw, unapologetic music.
The album is expected to drop before the end of 2025, with the band planning to kick off a world tour shortly after its release. In addition to new music, fans can expect to hear some classic Bad Religion hits live, as the band prepares to celebrate over 40 years of punk rock history.
Bad Religion’s new album is shaping up to be a defining moment in the band’s storied career, promising to combine their distinctive sound with new influences, powerful lyrics, and collaborative efforts that will captivate fans old and new. With so much anticipation building around the album, it’s clear that Bad Religion is once again ready to shake up the music scene in 2025.
