MTV has got a short news about Bad Religion.
"Following their stint on the Warped Tour, Bad Religion have lined up a fall tour with Rise Against that begins October 14 in Dallas. The band continues to support its latest album, The Empire Strikes First, which dropped in June."
The Washington Times has also got a short note about Bad Religion.
Protester T-shirts back alternative bands
NEW YORK — The protest parade contingent wears its heart on its chest via sloganeering T-shirts. But the feisty malcontents also betray some decent musical tastes.
At the "Still We Rise" march on Monday, two people were spotted wearing shirts from the Birthday Party, the Australian anarcho-noise band fronted by Nick Cave before he formed the Bad Seeds in 1984.
A gentleman participating in the face-off with police at Herald Square on Tuesday evening wore a Fall shirt from the British band's 1998 tour.
Of course, since this is New York, some protesters also don Ramones T-shirts. The irony is that the logo, which features a circle with an eagle in the center and the names of the Queens foursome circling it, was conceived as an all-American symbol.
The revolutionaries also favor current bands like Anti-Flag and Bad Religion, both of which are involved in some fashion with the anti-Bush musical movement while being on corporate payrolls — the same strain of "greedy" America that so many here are decrying.From wire dispatches and staff reports.

condescension and ignorance. br writes music from the heart about causes they care about and are paid by a label started by one of its members. in actuality they pay themselves...or that is they pay their friends of twenty years. payroll of a corporation? fuck you.

thats stupid, sure Epitaph is much bigger than most indie label combined, but to say they're on a "corporate payroll" is ludicrous. The idiot writer was being very condescending by insinuating that BR suggests major corporations are "evil" and then adding, that they are one. Whoever got that punk rock is synonamous with being "against the establishment" should be shot. Punk Rock is really about creating your own establishment and doing it all yourself. If Punk rock was against all establishment, there would be no organization within the movement itself. I LOVE BR AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE EM AGAIN NEXT MONTH!!!
