The Offspring To Begin Recording New Album In January

During an interview with Times Colonist, The Offspring’s Dexter Holland revealed that the band are planning to begin the recording process for their next album in January. The group will be working on the effort with producer Bob Rock.

Holland said the following:

“In a funny way, I think the [pandemic] break really energized us. It gave us time to let us finish the last record, and we got the band real tight. We’ve decided to keep on going, so when we’re in-between tours, we’re working on new material.”

He also added:

“The nature of the music business is that you never know when your time is up. We’re very fortunate to still be here. But as Jim Morrison once said, ‘The future is uncertain and the end is always near.’ It always seems like we can do this for a few more years — people are still coming to the shows, and we’re still getting played on the radio — so for the time being it seems okay. But beyond that, who knows?”

The Offspring Release Cover Of Charles Brown’s “Please Come Home For Christmas”

The Offspring have released a cover of Charles Brown’s “Please Come Home For Christmas.” The band’s take on the track is titled “Bells Will Be Ringing (Please Come Home For Christmas)” and it can be streamed below. Frontman Dexter Holland commented:

“We’ve always loved the classic Charles Brown version of this song and think it’s really underappreciated. We thought it would be the perfect follow up to ‘Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)‘ in continuing on the coming home for Christmas theme.”

The Offspring Working On New Album

During a recent interview with Brazil’s 89FM A Rádio Rock, The Offspring’s Dexter Holland revealed that the band are working on a new album. He said the following about that after being asked if the band are planning to focus on singles from “Let The Bad Times Roll”:

“I hope we can do another single, ’cause there’s so many songs that we’re so proud of on this album we’d like to do. At the same time, we wanna keep things rolling. We had to take time off in the pandemic and we feel like, ‘We’re back at it. Let’s make the most of it right now.’ So we’re working on a new album. So it might be another single off of this album or hopefully a new single off a new album coming in the New Year.”

The Offspring Members Unharmed After One Of Their Vehicles Catches Fire In Canada

While The Offspring were on their way to Rimouski, QC, one of their vehicles ended up catching on fire. Fortunately, everyone escaped unharmed.

The band issued the following statement:

“While traveling through Canada yesterday, something flew off the vehicle in front of us and became wedged underneath one of our SUVs and it caught fire. Everyone got out safely, but the luggage, passports, laptops and pretty much everything else was destroyed.

We are happy to report that everyone is doing ok and we’ve made it safely to Rimouski and will be performing tonight at Les Grandes Fetes TELUS. Hope to see everyone there!

Aug 6 | Rimouski, QC | @grandesfetes”

Kevin “Noodles” Wasserman also commented:

“No one was hurt. Everyone got out of the vehicle unscathed. Unfortunately about half our crew lost all their belongings in the fire, including luggage, computers, & passports. But it could’ve been much worse. The band & I are so thankful & relieved that all involved are OK.

No one is sure what started the fire yet, but the SUV hit something big & heavy, possibly a lost trailer hitch, and within seconds the vehicle was in flames. You can see from the video that they didn’t even get off the Highway before everyone had to bail. No time to save any belongings. Scary shit!

Our crew do all the heavy lifting so that we look & sound as good as possible when we take the stage. They’re travel & workdays are always longer & more arduous than ours, and we can’t thank them enough for all they do. To see them have to go through something like this is heartbreaking & frightening. I am so glad they are all OK!”
