Two years ago, bassist Gregory "Greg K." Kriesel, who hasn't performed with THE OFFSPRING since 2018, filed a federal lawsuit against Noodles and Dexter alleging trademark infringement and breach of partnership agreement over the rights to THE OFFSPRING name. Last April, THE OFFSPRING jumped on the "Tiger King" bandwagon by recording a cover version of THE CLINTON JOHNSON BAND's "Here Kitty Kitty", a song made popular by Joe Schreibvogel - better known as Joe Exotic, the "Tiger King" - through the Netflix docuseries. In December, THE OFFSPRING released the official music video for its Rock-produced cover version of "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)", a rock song originally sung by Darlene Love and included on the 1963 seasonal compilation album "A Christmas Gift For You" from Phil Spector. Holland, 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. Climate change, climate deniers, vaccine, anti-vaxxers - whatever you want, it's out there." So, yeah, the whole world is a little bit of a scary place right now."ĭexter continued: "That's right. You're seeing unrest, and then you're also seeing anti-democratic forces kind of taking power in some places, in which case causes more unrest. There's unrest happening literally everywhere - on all continents.
Some people would apply it to things that are going on today, or just how messed up everything is, trying to fix our pandemic and all that kind of stuff."Īdded Noodles: "But really, it's not just an American-centric thing either, cause you're seeing stuff happening around the world. Some people would apply it to the last administration. "You can apply it to a lot of things," he explained. So we had to come up with a new title, 'Let The Bad Times Roll'. We wrote that 'cause we thought how terrible things were in the world back then. Speaking about the inspiration for the "Let The Bad Times Roll" album title, Dexter said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "We had a song two albums ago called 'Shit Is Fucked Up'. The follow-up to 2012's "Days Go By" was produced by Bob Rock, who also worked on the band's last two LPs.
THE OFFSPRING singer Bryan "Dexter" Holland and guitarist Kevin "Noodles" Wasserman spoke to Lou Brutus of HardDrive Radio about the band's upcoming tenth studio album, "Let The Bad Times Roll", which will arrive on April 16 via Concord Records.
