With Brett Gurewitz’s work with Rancid about to see the light of day, the guitarist will now turn his attentions to his main outfit. After releasing a deluxe edition of its might recent effort, New Maps of Hell, earlier this summer, Bad Religion will embark on a west coast and Canadian tour begining next month.

Following the stint and frontman Greg Graffin’s teaching obligations at UCLA, the band will then hit the studio to begin working on its fifteenth studio album. According to bassist Jay Bentley and drummer Brooks Wackerman in a recent interview with JATV, the material is completely written and the finished product could be out by June of next year.
