Bad Religion “30 Years Live” – Record Review

Back in the Spring during their 30th Anniversary Tour, legendary Punk band Bad Religion announced they would be releasing a live album that would be free of cost and digitally downloadable. On May 17th the anticipated "30 Years Live" arrived in many loyal Bad Religion fan's email accounts as a gesture of appreciation for all the support during the past three decades. The album, recorded during the group's 20- date stint at various House of Blues venues, consists of some of their most popular songs, including "Los Angeles is Burning", "Social Suicide" and "American Jesus", along with classics from their earlier years such as "Suffer", "We're Only Gonna Die", "Fuck Armageddon...This is Hell" and "Flat Earth Society". The band also includes two new songs, "Won't Somebody" and "Resist-stance", that are planned to be included on their upcoming album. Each song on the live recording provide fans with a taste of a zealous performance along with an impressive quality that makes one feel as if they were actually in attendance to the Bad Religion show.

To sign up and receive "30 Years Live" you must join the Bad Religion mailing list at www.badreligion.com/mailinglist.html the download code will be attainable through the email, plus the download takes less than a few minutes and proves to be a high distinction of the hard work Bad Religion has polished off for the past thirty years.  If you didn't have the honor to be present at the 30th Anniversary Tour, it's not too late to take part in the thirty year celebration by downloading this album, as well as staying tuned to future Bad Religion events including the release of their 15th album due this fall. In the words of Greg Graffin, "“without all of you, without a vibrant scene to be a part of, there really wouldn’t be very much to celebrate”.
