#87 American Jesus

#87 - American Jesus
Bad Religion




I think when you first get into a band your knowledge really starts from that point going forwrad. You listen to the older stuff but you miss hidden gems. That is what happened to me with American Jesus by Bad Religion.

It was when we saw Bad Religion in New Jersey a few years ago they played American Jesus and I was like what album is this from and I looked back and checked out the song further. It is just as good on the album as it was live. Intense. Thought provoking. Sinister.

The song is a very commercial and could have been another hit for Bad Religion in the vein of 21st Century Digital Boy . But don't take that to mean, not genuine and very punk rock. Honestly it is the anthem of the dystopian future that Bad Religion has been singing about for years.
