In a recent interview, The Offspring guitarist Noodles revealed that the band will begin work on new music for their next release after they wrap up the Summer Nationals Tour with Bad Religion, Pennywise, The Vandals and Stiff Little Fingers. Noodles states:
“We’re getting some ideas together and it’s been fun. But we’re focusing on the anniversary of ‘Smash’ right now. Once this tour is over, we’ll get rolling with new music. It’s all been amazing to see how far the band has come along the way.”
Earlier this month, The Offspring released the covers EP Summer Nationals exclusively on iTunes and Spotify via Time Bomb, which was released to coincide with the Summer Nationals tour. It is not known if Time Bomb will handle the release of the new Offspring album, which will be their first since 2012’s Days Go By, but we’ll keep you posted as more details on it come to light.
