The band’s new project will be released this fall
Punk rock legends The Offspring are making some major noise and announced they will release their new album Supercharged on October 11th via Concord Records. The album pre-order is underway with the lead single and lyric video for “Make It All Right.”
“Make It All Right” comes hot out of the gate in legendary Offspring fashion but lyrically talks about how it feels to have your “partner in crime” by your side. The person who makes you feel like you can do anything and gives you confidence things will work out: “And you make it all right, And it’s gonna be fine, We’re like partners in crime, And you make it all right.”
“We wanted this record to have pure energy – from the start to the finish!” frontman Dexter Holland shares. “That’s why we called it Supercharged. From the height of our aspirations to the depths of our struggles, we talk about it all on this record…in a way that celebrates the life that we share and where we are now. Our single ‘Make It All Right’ is a great example of this because it talks about the people in our lives who make us feel strong when we are feeling low – our partners in crime who make us feel all right.”
He continues, “The album was recorded in three different locations this time: Maui, Vancouver, and our home studio in Huntington Beach, and together with our producer Bob Rock everything came out awesome. I feel like this is the best we have ever sounded! We’ve been rocking out and headbanging to it for months! And we can’t wait for you guys to hear it!”
Last week, The Offspring performed to a massive crowd at Napa’s BottleRock Festival performing career-spanning kick-ass fan favorites, and were joined by global superstar Ed Sheeran. Sheeran – who is a longtime fan of The Offspring – surprised the crowd and performed “Million Miles Away” from the band’s Conspiracy of One album (released in 2000).
Earlier in the day Sheeran rehearsed with the band backstage- even showing off his Offspring tattoo inspired by Conspiracy of One – before joining them onstage. Later the band introduced Sheeran by saying, “We were hanging out backstage and somebody said this was one of their favorite songs in the history of songs and he said he might be open to playing it with us – so let’s give him a shot you know?”
Continuing on the road the band is performing overseas at numerous festivals as well as Inkcarceration Festival in Mansfield, Ohio on July 19th, Louder Than Life Festival on September 26th, and more in North America.
