From the Epitaph Newsletter:

New Maps of Hell will be Bad Religion's fourteenth Epitaph release. Don't be surprised if they hit us with some fast, straight to the point punk rock songs that are remnant of How Could Hell Be Any Worse? The guys are almost finished recording with the Grammy-nominated producer, Joe Barresi (Tool) and will be on the Warped Tour all summer.

And, our new favorite Bad Religion acoustic cover-man has posted a few new videos since the last BR Weekly:

Struck a Nerve

Live Again (The Fall of Man)

Cease

Along the Way

Upon request, here's the link for Jack Hanson's profile. I guess he has other covers too, like Social Distortion and such.

Thanks to Neil Davis for this news!

... Guest Location: United States	Quote People have to start to relax! Give the guy some credit. And I dare to all the people that hate the cover of Jack Hanson to make something better right now! Come on, give us something that we all will agree on being a better cover version compared to his. I like to see that. I bet no one will come up with one. 04/04/2007 at 02:59 People have to start to relax! Give the guy some credit.

d. adrian Guest Location: Global Citizen	Quote I agree perfectly with Part III. He isn't horrible, but there is NOTHING special or any good about his covers. They are bland and boring and just gets lost in the sea of horrible covers. There is a good Bad Religion cover on YouTube, by a band called Self Defense. They cover No Control with amazing back up vocals. The only negative thing about that one is that the singer clearly doesn't know the lyrics, which is very often a problem with Bad Religion songs, especially for latino and other non-americans. It's a good cover, check it out. I enjoy it ten times more than Jack Hanson's covers. 04/02/2007 at 16:07 I agree perfectly with Part III.

HomerSapien Modern Man Location: Winnipeg, MB Status: Offline Posts: 378	Quote Yes, many people have put acoustic covers of themselves before, so why do we like this guy? Well, for one, he does it much better than the rest of those "15 year olds". Secondly, he's got many songs to choose from. Thirdly, a lot of people like this guy's covers. 04/01/2007 at 21:45 Yes, many people have put acoustic covers of themselves before, so why do we like this guy?

kh Guest Location: Argentina	Quote Yea I don't get why anyone cares. First of all he's just some random nobody out of 1,000 others on the internet playing random covers. Second, he's not very good at it. It's not that they're bad, but they're definitely not memorable. 04/01/2007 at 19:19 Yea I don't get why anyone cares.

Much like 15 year olds have been doing for years, many videos also available on youtube. alright good for him, he's cool for liking the same songs we do, but do we really have to hear about this guy again? personally i dislike his semi-country voice cracking he does. 04/01/2007 at 16:35 Ok, we get it.
