Bad Religion Share New Song “Do The Paranoid Style”
Today, acclaimed Los Angeles punk rock band Bad Religion premiere a new song from their forthcoming album Age Of Unreason, set for a May 3 release. “Do The Paranoid Style” is a breakneck track in which Bad Religion deliver their signature furious beats and dissenting political views with confidence and wit. Inspired by historian Richard Hofstadter’s 1964 essay “The Paranoid Style in American Politics,” the song compares contemporary right wing conspiracy theorizing to a feverish dance craze. The accompanying video directed by Dan Fusselman depicts mid-century American propaganda film imagery against a backdrop of rock n’ roll dancing. According to guitarist and co-songwriter, Brett Gurewitz “When fringe groups blame shadowy forces for their problems it is, at worst, delusional. But when those holding the levers of power do the same thing, it’s not delusion, it’s a method of delegitimizing the opposition. It’s a tool of authoritarianism.”

Formed in 2016, the band released their debut ‘Deforme’ in 2017 with the help of Chiodos frontman Craig Owens.
Kyleanne Hunter, Brady VP of Programs, stated,
“Gun violence doesn’t end when the bullets stop flying. The guilt that survivors feel is painfully real – I felt it when I returned from the battlefield, and I’m heartbroken that students and parents feel it today. It doesn’t have to be this way. Guns too often turn an impulsive act into a fatal tragedy, and common-sense policies like extreme risk orders and safe storage provisions can help keep firearms away from someone in crisis. We owe it to our friends and families to protect them and hold them up when they need our help. If you need help, please, please, please reach out and know that you are loved and valued.”
