THE OFFSPRING will release their tenth studio album, “Let The Bad Times Roll”, on April 16 via Concord Records. The follow-up to 2012’s “Days Go By” was once again produced by Bob Rock, who also worked on the band’s last two LPs.
Singer Bryan “Dexter” Holland, guitarist Kevin “Noodles” Wasserman, drummer Pete Parada and new bassist Todd Morse wrote and recorded “Let The Bad Times Roll” in the last few years at various locations, including the band’s studio in Huntington Beach, California.
The official lyric video for the “Let The Bad Times Roll” title track can be seen just below this article.
Written in late 2019, the song is said to reflect the “ongoing challenges” facing the U.S.
Holland said: “I feel like we’re in a unique period in history where instead of our world leaders saying ‘we’re doing our best,’ it’s more like they’re saying ‘fuck it,’ and it’s really scary.”
Dexter added: “Folks are saying, if it’s all going to hell, we might as well make the most out of it, or at least go out swinging. ‘Let The Bad Times Roll’!”
