Veteran Southern California pop punkers The Offspring announced the details of their upcoming 11th studio album, Supercharged, on Friday morning (June 7) and dropped the LP’s first single, the head-bopping “Make It All Right.” The 10-track record is due out on Oct. 11 via Concord Records.
In a statement, singer Dexter Holland said that Supercharged was recorded in Maui, Vancouver and the group’s home studio in Huntington Beach with legendary producer Bob Rock (Metallica, Bon Jovi). “I feel like this is the best we have ever sounded! We’ve been rocking out and headbanging to it for months! And we can’t wait for you guys to hear it!” he said.
Speaking of the the super-poppy single, Holland said it’s a great example of the vibe they were looking for, “because it talks about the people in our lives who make us feel strong when we are feeling low – our partners in crime who make us feel all right.” And, indeed, on the track he sings, “And you make it all right/ And it’s gonna be fine/ We’re like partners in crime/ And you make it all right/ And it’s gonna be fine.”
The album is the group’s first without longtime drummer Pete Parada — Foo Fighters drummer Josh Freese performs on the single — and Holland said the goal was to make an LP that had, “pure energy – from the start to the finish! That’s why we called it Supercharged. From the height of our aspirations to the depths of our struggles, we talk about it all on this record… in a way that celebrates the life that we share and where we are now.”
