Since these guys have had such a long history I'm going to abridge this.
Bad Religion is a Punk rock band formed in Los Angeles, California, USA in 1980. During the late 1980's they credited for leading the punk rock revival and have been a major influence on many punk and rock bands. The band is also known for their fiercely political lyrics that name the ills of society but never attribute it one specific group. However on the album
The Empire Strikes First much of the inspiration for the lyrics can from President Bush. Also contrary to popular belief, the band is not anti-religious, they just use religion as a metaphor for something that doesn't allow people to express their freedom to think or to express themselves. The band for the most part has remained out of the public eye. Many of their songs have been featured in video games (Only ones I know are Crazy Taxi and Tony Hawk's American Wasteland)
To date the band has released a total of 13 albums (Plus the self-titled debut EP and compilation albums), which will be mentioned later. The band will release their 14th album:
New Maps Of Hell in June of this year. They will also play on the VANS Warped Tour this year.

This song is about 10 billion humans existing in the year 2010 and deals with how the natural resources will be depleted by the huge population. Weird video too.
