The Story of Bad Religion is the definitive biography of this legendary band. Written by acclaimed music journalist Jim Ruland, the book tells the full story of Bad Religion's journey, complete with rare photos, interviews, and behind-the-scenes anecdotes.

Ruland traces the band's roots back to the early 1980s, when teenagers Greg Graffin, Brett Gurewitz, Jay Bentley, and Paul Dedona formed a band called Bad Religion in the Los Angeles suburb of Manhattan Beach. The band's early sound was heavily influenced by hardcore punk, but they quickly developed their own unique style, which incorporated elements of pop, rock, and even jazz.

Bad Religion's early years were marked by a series of lineup changes, but the band's core members remained Graffin, Gurewitz, and Bentley. In 1988, they released their breakthrough album, Suffer, which helped to establish them as one of the leading lights of the punk rock scene.

In the years that followed, Bad Religion continued to release critically acclaimed albums, including No Control (1989),Generator (1992),and Stranger Than Fiction (1994). The band also toured extensively, building a loyal following around the world.

In the late 1990s, Bad Religion's popularity began to wane, but the band refused to give up. They continued to release albums and tour, and in 2002, they released their critically acclaimed album, The Process of Belief. The album helped to revive the band's career, and they have continued to be a vital force in punk rock ever since.

The Story of Bad Religion is an essential read for fans of the band and anyone interested in the history of punk rock. Ruland's book is a well-written and informative account of one of the most important and influential bands of all time.
