A cryptic post on Brett Gurewitz’s Instagram page has suggested that Bad Religion are in the studio recording their long-awaited new album. The post shows a picture from the studio and simply says, “Today’s office”. This follows up last February’s news where the iconic California punk band revealed that new songs were in the pipeline.

We’ll keep you posted once we get more details on the new Bad Religion record, which is rumored to be released this summer in conjunction with their European tour that season. Their last studio album to date, True North, was released in 2013.

It’s getting late down here in Africa but I’m a little disappointed my team of DSers missed this story earlier so sometimes you just gotta take matters into your own hands… If you haven’t heard it yet, I invite any of you punks who at one point in your lives enjoyed Pennywise to check out “Never Gonna Die” below. It’s the first album with original vocalist Jim Lindberg back on vocal duty in over a decade and it does not disappoint.

Against Me!‘s Laura Jane Grace has released a new song called “Park Life Forever,” which she wrote about her summer adventures with her daughter Evelyn.  Here’s what she had to say about the song:

“This past summer my daughter learned to ride a bike which was a lot of fun. Everyday we would wake up and ride our bikes to the park, and on the way we would stop and get coffee and lemonade. She would play on the playground for hours and I would read in the grass. Then we would eat ice cream. It was the best. As the summer was ending, I started working on this song. It’s been a long winter. I’m ready for summer again (I think everyone is), so I thought this would be a fun song to share with everyone and help usher in those summertime vibes!”
