The Empire Strikes First

by Bad Religion

The Empire Strikes First cover art

Fired up by the political climate of the Iraq War and the Bush administration, the legendary California punk act delivers their most cohesive, vitriolic album in years. The record balances highly literate, socially conscious lyricism from Greg Graffin and Brett Gurewitz with blistering fast, harmony-laden skate punk arrangements.
