<p>— Rough Trade (@RoughTrade) <a href="https://twitter.com/RoughTrade/status/1384143292082753541?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 19, 2021</a></p></blockquote>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The California band is one of the longest lasting rock groups. They debuted in 1995 with an album ‘<a href="https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/29597/offspring/" target="_blank"><em>Smash</em></a>’ that have sold over 40 million records worldwide. It&#8217;s been nine years since their last album from 2012 ‘<em>Days Go By</em>’ and since then, they have been thinking about their next release. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Last week The Offspring’s 10th studio album came out, under new record label Concord Records. Dexter Holland said in an <a href="https://substreammagazine.com/2021/04/interview-offspring-bad-times-roll/" target="_blank">interview</a>: “</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><em>Whenever Bob [Rock, producer] had time to be with us, he’d fly in and we’d meet here in the studio in Huntington Beach and focus on a song or two. He’d usually come out for a couple of weeks. Then we go off on our own ways, come back in and give it a listen with fresh ears and either work on a song we’ve been working on or start something new</em>.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When asked about the name of the new album, the band <a href="https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/9557726/the-offspring-dexter-holland-interview-let-the-bad-times-roll" target="_blank">said:</a> “</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><em>Are we trying to say the bad times are still rolling, or is this some sort of referendum on what’s happened in the past few years? We’re still facing a lot of challenges, and I don’t see it going away any time soon. Fingers crossed, we’re getting over the hump, but man, I think the bad times are still rolling.</em>”</span><br />

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The new album ‘<em>Let the Bad Times Roll</em>’ has received three stars review from Kerrang. They <a href="https://www.kerrang.com/reviews/album-review-the-offspring-let-the-bad-times-roll/" target="_blank">described it</a> as “</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><em>The Offspring as they’ve always been, without apology, sending themselves up as much as tackling really quite serious issues such as the opioid crisis (The Opioid Diaries)”</em>. Adding: “<em>Let The Bad Times Roll represents a welcome return from a band who undoubtedly make the world all the brighter with their presence”</em>.</span></p>
<p>As part of the celebration of  the new album, The Offspring has appeared in video game &#8216;<a href="https://worldoftanks.eu/en/news/special-offers/offspring-pretty-fly-april2021/" target="_blank"><em>World of Tanks</em></a>.
