The Offspring
The 'Pretty Fly For A White Guy' hitmakers - comprising Dexter Holland, Noodles, Pete Parada, and new bassist Todd Morse - will release 'Let The Bad Times Roll' on April 16, and have given fans a taste of what's to come with the release of the album title track.
The follow-up to 2012's 'Days Go By' was recorded over a number of years at various locations, including their Huntington Beach, California studio.
Dexter and co reunited for the third time with famed rock producer Bob Rock on the 12-track LP.
And the 55-year-old frontman doesn't hold back when waxing lyrical about America's state of affairs on the lead single.
He said in a press release: “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 ‘f*** it’ and it's really scary.”
Guitarist Noodles 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!’"
