The legendary So-Cal punk group The Offspring are back with their 10th album and first new offering since 2008. After releasing two standalone tracks in 2020 – the over-the-top cover of Joe Exotics (of Tiger King infamy) “Hey Kitty Kitty” and a rendition of Darlene Loves classic “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” – the band is ready to plant their punk rock flag in the sand once again with their blistering new album Let the Bad Times Roll. With the help of producer Bob Rock, Dexter Holland describes the album as “the most cathartic thing weve done. The messages might be dark, but at the end whats left is that communication is important, working through feelings is important and most of all, hope is important.” Then let the bad times roll for now, in the hopes that good times lie ahead.
