LA-based punk rock legends Bad Religion have recently released “What Are You Standing For,” an outtake from their critically acclaimed album Age of Unreason released last year.
Bad Religion has never been afraid to speak their minds and standing up for what is right, regardless of what people think, and that mindset shines through with this track. “In this time of tribal nationalism, dissent, as a form of political speech, is vital to democracy,” says co-songwriter and guitarist Brett Gurewitz. In this song, the group discusses and shows support for professional athletes and others who have taken a knee to protest police brutality and racism. Bad Religion has always advocated for humanism, reason, and individualism, which in our current political climate is a message that has never been more essential.
