Greg on writing No Substance
“The album No Substance was completely recorded in one of my hometowns, Ithaca, New York. It has some cool songs on it. One of my favorites is called In So Many Ways. I wrote that on piano and it really is easy to translate to a piano tune. Something Bad Religion’s done over the years on songs like Skyscraper, Cease, and this one, In So Many Ways. This album I think is an example of songwriting crisp and short songs in the punk tradition, but all in all, this album kinda strayed away from some of our more epic styles. Maybe it was because I only wrote one song on piano on this entire album."
