Fat Mike has revealed that Bad Religion is one of about thirty bands/artists that will be paying tribute to Tony Sly on a compilation album that will come out under his label Fat Wreck Chords in a few months.

No Use for a Name's frontman unexpectedly died in his sleep at age 41 last year and is survived by his wife and two daughters. You can read more about his life here. 

It is yet unknown which song the band will contribute or whether it will be a Tony Sly or a No Use for a Name song, but these are some of the bands confirmed to appear on the tribute album besides Bad Religion: Lagwagon, Dropkick Murphys, Rise Against, NOFX, Frank Turner, Pennywise, Gaslight Anthem, and Bouncing Souls.

This is what Fat Mike has to say about the whole thing:

"I’ve been putting together this tribute comp for some time. It’s incredible how many bands have called me wanting to be on it. It’s been my absolute privilege to put this together. What I wanted to show on this record is how amazing Tony’s songs are.You can tell a song is great when it can be done in any style and it’s still great. That’s what this comp is about. All the bands are doing No Use for a Name songs or Tony Sly songs with their own take. It’s a real tribute to his songwriting.

I wanted to make a comp that Tony would be so proud of. These bands were his closest friends and his favorite bands. I thank all of them for stepping up and showing their love and respect to Tony and his family. It’ll come out in a few months and we’re gonna have a fucking crazy party when it does. You’re all invited to do the same."

I am not familar enough with No Use for a Name or Tony Sly's stuff but for those who are, which song/s do you think would fit in best with Bad Religion's style?

Trivia: last time Bad Religion participated in a tribute album was with their cover of "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" for the Bob Dylan tribute album Chimes of Freedom two years ago.

And speaking about covers, the latest cover of a Bad Religion song to appear on a (digital) album is Suffer by Senses Fail. Apparently, it is featured on a three song digital EP that was recorded exclusively for the pre-sale of tickets for their last tour. Has anyone heard that one yet???
