Jay Dee Bentley (born June 6, 1964, Wichita, Kansas) is the bassist and co-founding member of the punk rock group Bad Religion.[1] He has played with the band through its whole existence with a small break between 1983 and 1985.
Career
Jay Bentley grew up in Saugus, California, and later moved to Woodland Hills. As with guitarist Brett Gurewitz and lead singer Greg Graffin, he was a student of El Camino Real High School. He played in Bad Religion for three-and-a-half years (1979-83),[2] and left while the band was in the midst of writing and recording their second album, Into the Unknown.
Bentley was a onetime member of such notable L.A. groups as Wasted Youth, T.S.O.L., The Circle Jerks and Cathedral Of Tears. He rejoined Bad Religion in late 1985 while the How Could Hell Be Any Worse? line-up – adding Circle Jerks' Greg Hetson as the band's second guitarist – was reuniting to record the first three reunion albums, Suffer, No Control and Against the Grain, which are often considered their best releases. Today, Bentley continues touring and recording with Bad Religion. He has appeared on every Bad Religion release, with the exceptions of Into the Unknown (1983) and the Back to the Known (1985) EP. The band's most recent studio album, True North, was released on January 22, 2013.[3]
Personal life
Bentley has two sons: Miles (born 1991) and Hunter (born 1993)[4] He also has a minor daughter and lives with his partner Natalia Fabia in Costa Mesa, California.[5]
