• Bad Religion’s second album with Graffin & Gurewitz teamed up together again, and 2004’s Empire Strikes First is another staggering wake-up call to the world. With guest vocals from Sage Francis on “Let Them Eat War” and Mike Campbell (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers) on guitar on “Los Angeles Is Burning”
• Produced by Grammy-nominated producer, Joe Baressi (Tool, Weezer, Queens of the Stone Age)
• “Bad Religion’s new effort is possibly their most innovative and unique record ever.” (www.truepunk.com)
• “The truth is that after 20+ years, Bad Religion meet the present day not only unfettered by nostalgia, but hardwired into the moment. Fans take the band’s growth and standards for granted. It’s tempting to say—though impossible to prove—that the The Empire Strikes First is a such a terrific album because vocalist Graffin and guitarist Gurewitz, the band’s most important creative forces, are responding to the death, desolation, and destruction of war, and to the concurrent attacks on the Bill of Rights; it seems more than just a happy accident that the band has just delivered one of its most charged and inspired records in years“- Pitchfork
