Bad Religion formed in Southern California in the early 1980s, a group of teenage friends who started playing together. They were led by vocalist Greg Graffin, with Brett Gurewitz on guitar, Greg Hetson on guitar, Jay Bentley on bass, and Brooks Wackerman on drums. Their early years involved a lot of touring and building an audience from the ground up.

Their music evolved from straightforward hardcore to something with more intricate guitar work and melodic layers, but they never lost that critical edge. Tracks such as 'Infected' and 'My Sanity' show how they balanced aggression with thoughtful songwriting.
