Greg Graffin Solo Album Coming Soon

When he’s not lecturing on palaeontology at Cornell University, Greg Graffin is the lead singer with Los Angeles punks, Bad Religion, and has been since 1979. Doctor Graffin releases Millport on March 10 via ANTI- Records.

Like his previous solo outings, Millport is a folk inspired album, far removed from his Bad Religion in tone and content. “This feels as exciting to me as when we made the Bad Religion record Suffer,” says Graffin. “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.”

His third solo album in 20 years, Millport was produced by fellow Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz. “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,” says Gurewitz. “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.”
