It’s so much fun obsessing over Bad Religion. Although there are no plans to do “webisodes” like the band did for New Maps Of Hell, you can follow the recording process on their “Album Diary” page on theBRpage.net website (note that this is not the official Bad Religion website, but rather a site authorized by Dr. Graffin)

Within the Album Diary page, you can find tweets and status updates from the band members as well as pictures. Lets hope they put up short clips also, but hey, this is definitely good enough to hold us off until the album(s) come out.

With the impending release of their free live album, things are looking to get really interesting over at the Bad Religion camp. Stay tuned for more!

Danish pop-punkers The 20Belows are currently streaming 8 of the 13 tracks off their upcoming album For Better Days on their MySpace page. The album is due out on Monster Zero Inc, though we don’t know the release date quite yet.
