Which punk band is fronted by Greg Graffin?

The punk band fronted by Greg Graffin is Bad Religion. Graffin co-founded the Los Angeles band in 1980 with guitarist Brett Gurewitz, and he has remained its lead vocalist and only constant member.

Bad Religion became known for fast, melodic punk built around dense three-part vocal harmonies. Its lyrics frequently address religion, politics, science, conformity, media, and social responsibility. The band’s name can mislead listeners: Graffin has explained that its criticism of religion often works as a broader metaphor for dogma and restrictions on independent thought.

Graffin is also unusual among prominent punk singers because he earned a PhD in zoology at Cornell University and has taught natural science. That academic background informs some of Bad Religion’s writing, but it does not make him a temporary guest or side-project vocalist. Although the group has had many lineup changes, Graffin has remained its central frontman.

A common mix-up is confusing him with Brett Gurewitz, who co-founded the band, plays guitar, and wrote many songs, but is not the principal singer. Graffin has also released solo records, yet his defining band affiliation remains Bad Religion.
