	Greg Graffin \| View the Music Artists Biography Online \| VH1.com
		A fan of pop radio from an early age, Graffin was in for quite a (culture) shock when surrounded by all the pot-smoking surfer dudes of the San Fernando Valley, who largely admired groups like Led Zeppelin.
		Graffin and his Bad Religion mates flirted with commercial success during much of the mid- to late '90s (especially after the massive success obtained by another Epitaph band, the Offspring), and even signed on with a major label, Atlantic, for a spell.
		Graffin released another solo effort in July 2006, but this time under his own name; Cold as the Clay hearkened back to his familial roots, boasting a stripped-down American folk sound.

		Bio: Bad Religion frontman Greg Graffin single-handedly nullifies the perception that some have about punk rock being an ignorant form of music for youngsters: he has an master's degree in geology and a Ph.D. in biology.

	Phoenix - Music - Greg Graffin
		Bad Religion singer Greg Graffin gets old-timey on Cold As the Clay, an unplugged sophomore solo LP that mixes original songs with similar Deadwood-era tunes like the finger-picked murder-hoedown "Little Sadie." Graffin plays traditional music as convincingly as he handles punk.
		Graffin and his trail pals competently re-create the standards but don't reinterpret or invigorate them.
		Produced by Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz and backed by post-punk compatriots the Weakerthans, the disc's chestnuts are rendered so faithfully that the album is unremarkable as anything but an archaeology project, lacking the spark and fresh arrangements that mark the similar work of Ralph Stanley, Kristin Hersh, and the Dropkick Murphys.

	Cold As The Clay - Greg Graffin, Music Downloads - Online
		Graffin penned five of the 11 songs presented, the rest of the record containing reworked versions of traditional classics; however, all tracks intermingle as though they were always from the same time period and nothing sounds contrived.
		And even with the absolute lack of the revved-up punk that Graffin is normally associated with -- which may catch some Bad Religion fans off guard -- his distinctive unwavering vocal delivery remains the exact same.
		This fact is even more interesting when one thinks about how much folk music has obviously inspired Graffin, and consequently, Bad Religion as well -- not to mention every band subsequently influenced by their music.

	Greg's Religion- Greg Graffin (vocals: 1980-) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Greg and Brett were the guys who started BR and have seen the band through, from the slightly shaky beginning to the amazing and inspiring front they've become today.
		Greg stayed in BR through the entire "Into The Unknown"; ordeal which saw quite a few of the members quitting, only to reunite in 1988.
		Right before Greg first left for college in the early 80s, he and Brett were working together at building "Epitaph Records"; and when Greg decided to go to college he politely handed it all over Brett, who was apparantly totally fine with taking it all on himself.

	HYBRIDMAGAZINE.COM \| REVIEWS \| Greg Graffin - Cold As The Clay album review
		Greg Graffin is a doctor in evolutionary paleontology, but the man obviously has a large amount of experience with the traditional musical cultures of rural America.
		Greg Graffin has put together a record full of songs that have an intimate power, similar to the raw edge in early Bad Religion, that will appeal to not only previous fans of his, but also to listeners of rural Americana, as well.
		Graffin is a talented singer, and on Cold As The Clay his voice is resplendent and deep, echoing the sentiments that so many of these songs were written to portray.

		Bad Religion singer Greg Graffin gets old-timey on Cold as the Clay, an unplugged sophomore solo LP that mixes original songs with similar Deadwood-era tunes, like the finger-pick murder-hoedown "Little Sadie." Graffin plays traditional music as convincingly as he handles punk -- he's no Mike Ness.
		The disc will probably enjoy the same reception as Graffin's band: If you're new to the genre, it'll sound great.
		Graffin and his trail pals competently recreate the standards, but don't reinterpret or invigorate them.

	Q&A - Greg Graffin - Aversion.com
		For Greg Graffin, that vacation is his roots and old-time solo affair, Cold as the Clay.
		Graffin, who’s served as Bad Religion’s front man for more than 25 years now, took a break from his punk-rock rabble-rousing (and his stints in academia and writing books, too), to hook up with producer/Bad Religion founder Brett Gurewitz to lay down Cold as the Clay (read Aversion’s review).
		Mr Graffin, as he stated in his interview, really gives the feeling of old time folk.

	Greg Graffin (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Greg Graffin – til daglig vokalist i det legendariske punkbandet Bad Religion – har i likhet med Bruce Springsteen gått tilbake til røttene og lagd et sjelfullt album basert på gamle amerikanske folkesanger.
		Det kan til å begynne med virke som om Graffin har bevegd seg langt vekk fra Bad Religion, men innholdet i låtene er i bunn og grunn akkurat det samme; historier om krig, fattigdom, oppvekst og en uendelig kamp for å overleve i en verden som ikke er slik man vil ha den.
		Greg Graffin beviser med "Cold As the Clay" at punk ikke har noe med musikkstil å gjøre, men en måte å tenke og handle på.

	TheSequitur.com - Free Speech Heroes: Greg Graffin
		Formally known as Dr. Gregory Walter Graffin, he is better known as Greg Graffin, the intellectual vocalist of the band Bad Religion and co-founder of the accomplished Epitaph Records music label.
		The influence that Greg has had on the youth of America and Europe over the last couple for decades can be affirmed by the success of mainstream artists such as Green Day and the Offspring, as well as well as the overall acceptance of his own band, Bad Religion.
		Graffin delivers his message in an accessible and credible style, concisely and with concrete convictions.

	Greg's Religion- Greg Graffin's 'American Lesion' (Site not responding. Last check: )
		This is the music that Greg was mysteriously (and vaguely) talking about a few years ago.
		He didn't tell much but only said that he'd been putting some sounds together that he'd been composing for quite a few years for an unusual non-rock type beat.
		Graffin uses his familiar vocals but with a much slower tempo and very mellow beat to create this soft rock and jazzy collection of tracks.

	RTÉ.ie Entertainment: Greg Graffin - Cold as the Clay
		If you've ever listened to a Bad Religion album and come away convinced that the punk rock legends' sound is speeded-up folk music, well, you can afford yourself a little smugness when you hear frontman Greg Graffin's solo album.
		Graffin's childhood years were spent listening to American traditional music and he's channelled these sounds and emotions for his first solo album - 26 years into his career.
		Backed by members of the Weatherkans and featuring former Be Good Tanyas singer Jolie Holland, Graffin splits 'Cold as the Clay' between original songs and 19th and early 20th Century standards.

		It isn't always easy to tell the difference between the two, since Graffin avoids genre staples, like "John Barleycorn," opting instead for more obscure entries, like "Omie Wise," a relic from his Midwestern childhood (Graffin moved from Milwaukee to LA when he was 11).
		Graffin has always admitted that what makes Bad Religion songs "good" is the song itself.
		It is common knowledge that Greg Graffin has a great mind for authoring punk rock music, and a great voice for vocalizing it.

	Denver - Music - Greg Graffin
		Most one-off solo projects fail to cast much light on the musicians who make them -- but the debut by Greg Graffin, longtime lead singer for Bad Religion, is a noteworthy exception.
		Cold as the Clay is a dark folk album that works on its own terms even as it provides a new way of looking at the heartfelt punk of Graffin's main group.
		Old-timey stuff such as "Little Sadie," a murder ballad that ends with the narrator wearing "the ball and stripes," are rendered using banjos and other traditional instruments, yet they exude unexpected intensity.

		In this case, the heat baked Los Angeles suburbs of the San Fernando Valley, a sprawling smog infested dystopia of mini-malls and suffocating boredom.
		It was in this climate that three disaffected teenagers, Greg Graffin, Brett Gurewitz and Jay Bentley, met and formed BAD RELIGION, practicing in a small garage and playing live amidst the volatile LA punk scene.
		Gurewitz and Graffin had always kept in touch, but as attractive as collaborating again seemed, there were serious obstacles in place.

		As part of his dissertation research, Graffin asked 149 prominent evolutionary biologists whether they believed in God; 130 answered no. But something surprised Graffin.
