The Offspring have posted a new update on progress towards their forever-awaited new album. This time, the band posted a picture from the studio, which mentions five working songtitles that are apparently set to appear on the record. The titles are “Anti War”, “Anti Police”, “Anti Religion”, “Death” and “My Girlfriend Is a Bitch”. It looks like they’re returning to their early roots, since they’re naming a song called “Death” and mentioning the word “anti” in three of their other songs.
In the same update, guitarist Noodles posted his thoughts on Pete Parada playing drums on one of the new songs, saying, “Your drums sound amazing on this song. One of my favorites.”
The band’s new album is the follow-up to 2008′s Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace, and is expected to finally surface next year. Earlier this week, they announced that they will headline next year’s Punkspring Festival in Japan.
Add The Offspring to My Radar
I really hope this album sounds like Ignition or at least Smash. I think I’ll have lost hope if they release another RAFRAG.
Bands are NEVER going to re-write albums they put out 17 and 19 years ago. It’s a true mind-fuck to even consider.
Get it out of your fucking head. If you love those albums so much, go listen to them.
Unrelated to Mr. Delusional, I can guarantee all the songs titles will chance, except maybe “My Girlfriend Is A Bitch”.
My girlfriend is a bitch? Seriously? I swear these guys are now in their like 50s or something. Pop punk is dead. Commercial viability has stalled. Maybe pop hardcore will come out. that would be funny.
