Bad Religion musical recordings and merchandise

Bad Religion is an influential American punk rock band formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1980. The band is widely credited with guiding the second wave of American punk rock and inspiring numerous melodic hardcore and pop-punk artists. The brand encompasses musical recordings, apparel, and various pieces of fan merchandise produced over several decades.

Most of the band's catalog and the 'Bad Religion' brand are intrinsically linked to Epitaph Records, an independent label founded by the band's guitarist, Brett Gurewitz. While the manufacturing of physical media like vinyl and CDs, as well as apparel, takes place in various countries including the United States, Canada, and the European Union to serve global markets, the creative and strategic heart of the brand remains in Southern California.

The ownership of the band's intellectual property and brand remains independent of the major international music conglomerates. It is primarily managed through Epitaph Records and the band members' own publishing entities, ensuring a high degree of creative control and a legacy of independence within the music industry.
