The Offspring tour the UK in November 2021 with The Hives. The Children of Agent Orange For decades, Vietnam veterans have suspected that the defoliant harmed their children. Let The Bad Times Roll is released on April 16 via Concord Records. For the majority of its runtime, Let The Bad Times Roll represents aР’В welcome return from aР’В band who undoubtedly make the world all the brighter with theirР’В presence.Р”Р‡or fans of: Sum 41, Green Day, Bad Religion ThatРІР‚в„ўs more aР’В matter of personal taste than aР’В reflection of the job the band have done on the whole though, and how much you can stomach the occasionally jarring tonal shifts will determine your desire to revisit the record. ItРІР‚в„ўs dubious whether anyone needs an Offspring piano ballad in their life, however, especially one carrying aР’В slight melodic whiff of Gary JulesРІР‚в„ў take on Tears For FearsРІР‚в„ў Mad World (or, indeed, Five Finger Death Punch РІР‚вЂ№ РІР‚в„ўs rendition of one of OffspringРІР‚в„ўs biggest hits), but thatРІР‚в„ўs where the record closes out on Gone Away Requiem, save for LullabyРІР‚в„ўs briefly trippy one-minute epilogue, reprising the title-track refrain. Flirting, as ever, with novelty, Let The Bad Times Roll is The Offspring as theyРІР‚в„ўve always been, without apology, sending themselves up as much as tackling really quite serious issues such as the opioid crisis (The OpioidР’В Diaries). Tickets are on sale now at: 'Original Prankster' was released as a single on this day in 2000.

Where Let The Bad Times Roll will likely divide opinion is in the mid-point, three-track swing of the aforementioned, ice-hockey-goal-music swagger of Coming For You, the bookending, rocked-up cover of evil orchestral classic In The Hall Of The Mountain King, and the embarrassing dad overshare of We Never Have Sex Anymore РІР‚вЂњ which leaves as little to the imagination as its title suggests. Well be performing a short acoustic set to benefit Rob Machado Foundation on Wednesday, November 7 at Belly Up in Solana Beach. ThereРІР‚в„ўs aР’В snap and bite about Behind Your Walls, while Army Of One rattles on with aР’В pleasing Dead Kennedys-meets- Fear-like fire in its belly, and Breaking These Bones keeps the intensity at just the right level andР’В pacing. Despite РІР‚вЂњ or perhaps in spite of РІР‚вЂњ their advancing years, The Offspring show no signs of slowing down or growing up gracefully. ItРІР‚в„ўs aР’В takeaway reinforced by most of the album, in fact. Similarly, the title-track pairs aР’В characteristically jaunty melody with gallows humour about how rubbish everything seems to be, flitting expertly between the bandРІР‚в„ўs innately playful nature and firing off stinging missives. Founding member Greg KР’В may have been ousted on bass and been replaced by H 20 man and touring guitarist Todd Morse, but as the jittery rush of This Is Not Utopia hurries in, The Offspring roll back the years, broadly raging against the lie of РІР‚вЂ№ РІР‚ВThe American DreamРІР‚в„ў. Producer Bob Rock ( Metallica, Bon Jovi) is back at the console for the third time, and first impressions are that despite the challenging circumstances of the recordРІР‚в„ўs completion, the more that things have changed, the more theyРІР‚в„ўve stayed the same.
