With over 40 years of experience, 17 studio albums, and an extensive (and continuing) touring schedule, Bad Religion’s impact on music and culture is one worth investigating. The purpose of this edited volume will be to explore the impact of Bad Religion as a steadfast entity in a music genre notorious for its ephemeral tendencies. Because of this, we are interested in pursuing multidisciplinary perspectives on the subject of Bad Religion, seeking academic contributions that will examine different elements of the band’s decades-long tenure in order to demonstrate how Bad Religion’s role in punk rock’s history remains relevant today.

The purpose of this book is to contextualize the influence of the band Bad Religion and their impact on culture during their 40-year tenure. The editors seek submissions from across academic disciplines for an edited volume that will provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of Bad Religion’s significance and impact in punk rock. Possible chapter topics include (but are not limited to): - The impact of Epitaph Records and/or Bad Religion on the mainstream music industry
-	The global impact of Bad Religion as a punk band
-	Career longevity as a punk band
-	Bad Religion’s efforts on Atlantic Records/in the mainstream
- Semiotic/rhetorical/thematic interpretations of Bad Religion’s songs, music videos, posters, merchandise, crossbuster logo, album art, etc.
