Bad Religion frontman Greg Gaffin will release a new solo album this spring.
'Millport' is due to arrive on March 10 via Anti-. Social Distortion's Jonny ‘Two Bags’ Wickersham, Brent Harding and David Hidalgo Jr played on the record, while Bad Religion's Brett Gurewitz produced.
Discussing the album, Gaffin said:
“This feels as exciting to me as when we made the Bad Religion record 'Suffer'. Like everything had been leading up to the songs and they just happened totally organically in this short intense burst. I’m really just doing what I did back then, which is write songs that mean something to me and deliver them in a way that is completely honest.”
Gurewitz added:
“It’s the two songwriters from Bad Religion and the rhythm section of Social Distortion, two influential LA punk bands, getting together to do an authentic country rock album, a genre most would think is the absolute antithesis of punk rock. But I think it sounds great. Both are iconic Southern California genres. It’s like the Laurel Canyon sound played by the kids who were smashing up the clubs a few years later.”
