The New America is an album by punk band Bad Religion. It was released in 2000 on Atlantic Records. It marks a departure for the band, as most of the songs are personal, rather than political in nature. Topics range from singer Greg Graffin's recent divorce to his past growing up as a punk kid in the early 80s.
