When you think of a godlike presence in the melodic hardcore—melocore, as it’s loved in Japan—genre, it has to be Bad Religion.

Formed in 1980, they’ve stayed active as a punk band for decades, anchoring their sound in hardcore punk while featuring wistful melodies and extraordinarily complex lyrics.

They remain a thriving, fully active California punk legend even in the 2020s.

As mentioned, they’re known for pioneering a sound that paved the way for melocore, but their very earliest work was straight-ahead hardcore punk.

“We’re Only Gonna Die,” a classic from their early period that’s still a live favorite today, opens their landmark 1982 debut album, How Could Hell Be Any Worse? With its relentlessly raw guitars, breakneck drums and bass, and vocals that trace the chord progression, it absolutely embodies that classic feel—but the band ensemble’s sudden vibe shift through tempo changes is striking as well.

It’s also amazing that even at that point, the vocalist Greg Graffin—who holds a PhD in biology—had already established the kind of dense, intricate lyricism he’s known for.
