Bad Religion - Watch it Die lyrics

The Birth of an Iconic Band In 1980, four teenagers from the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles came together to form a band that would become one of the most influential names in punk rock history. Bad Religion started in a garage, driven by a desire to channel frustration and curiosity into music. Their early recordings were raw but packed with speed and intelligence. Brett Gurewitz, Greg Graffin, Jay Bentley, and Jay Ziskrout shared a vision: punk could be more than rebellion; it could be thoughtful, melodic, and meaningful. That $1,000 loan from Brett’s father helped them record their first EP, setting the foundation for a career spanning four decades. From underground shows to global stages, their journey began with a simple yet revolutionary idea—to make punk music with a brain.
