BRAND NEW SINGLE FROM THE OFFSPRING IN ALMOST A DECADE “LET THE BAD TIMES ROLL”
CONCORD RECORDS/UNIVERSAL MUSIC CANADA
One of the best-selling punk rock bands of all time, The Offspring have set a release date for their first new album in almost a decade. The bandβs tenth studio album Let The Bad Times Roll will be available on Concord Records/Universal Music Canada on April 16, with the first single βLet The Bad Times RollβΒ available today!
Legends and innovators of the Southern California punk rock scene, The Offspring have sold more than 40 million albums worldwide, won countless awards, and have toured consistently, playing more than 500 shows in the last decade alone. Their music has had a lasting impact across film, television, and video games, but the band turned their focus to a new album release in 2021. The band is comprised of singer Dexter Holland, guitarist Noodles, drummer Pete Parada and new bassist Todd Morse.
The new music was written and recorded over the course of the last several years at various locations including the bandβs Huntington Beach, California studio. The album is the bandβs third time working in collaboration with legendary rock producer Bob Rock.
True to the irreverence at the core of punk rock music, the band and lyricist Dexter Holland took a view to todayβs cultural moments and didnβt shy away from creating topical material in this album. The title track, written in late 2019 and recorded in 2020, reflects the countryβs ongoing challenges. Holland said: βI feel like weβre in a unique period in history where instead of our world leaders saying βweβre doing our bestβ itβs more of a stubborn mentality where theyβre not making the slightest attempt to fix things. And itβs really fucking scary.β
As guitarist Noodles said: βFolks are saying, if itβs all going to Hell, we might as well make the most out of it, or at least go out swinging. βLet The Bad Times Roll!β”
