Books: Do What You Want: The Story Behind Bad Religion

Meet the minds behind melodic hardcore legends Bad Religion: Greg Graffin, a Wisconsin kid who sang in the choir and became an L.A. punk rock icon while he was still a teenager; Brett Gurewitz, a high school dropout who founded the independent punk label Epitaph Records and went on to become a record mogul; Jay Bentley, a surfer and skater who gained recognition as much for his bass skills as for his antics on and off the stage; and Brian Baker, a founding member of Minor Threat who joined the band in 1994 and brings a fresh perspective as an intimate outsider. They set the tone for a whole era of punk music, and their story is fascinating for fans of the band itself as well as folks interested in learning deep 90s music lore.
