Supercharged is the upcoming eleventh studio album by American punk rock band the Offspring, set to be released on October 11, 2024, by Concord Records.[1] It will be their first album with drummer Brandon Pertzborn. The drum duties were split between Pertzborn and Josh Freese. The bass duties were once again taken by singer and guitarist Dexter Holland instead of full-time bassist Todd Morse.
Background and recording
[edit]In a September 2022 interview with Brazilian radio station 89FM A Rádio Rock, frontman Dexter Holland confirmed that the Offspring had begun working on new material for their eleventh studio album: "...[W]e 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."[2][3] Holland told Times Colonist in November that the band would begin recording their new album in January 2023 with Bob Rock.[4] The Offspring announced on social media in March 2023 that they were "back in the studio."[5]
In September 2023, when Noodles was asked if the new Offspring material follows an "old-school" vein or if it represents "a new era of Offspring", he stated that "It's a little bit of both all that. The last song we did definitely sounds like an old-school — sounds kind of like 'Come Out Swinging'. Definitely some old-school stuff and then some rocking stuff and then some kind of poppy punk stuff too, for sure."[6]
In a May 2024 interview with Atlanta's 99X radio station, Holland and guitarist Noodles confirmed that the band's eleventh studio album was completed and that they were working on the cover art and album title.[7][8] The following month, it was announced that the album was titled Supercharged and will be released on October 11, 2024. The first single from the album, "Make It All Right", was released on June 7.[1] The second single, "Light It Up" was released on August 2.[9]
Holland later told in a press release "We wanted this record to have 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."[10]
The album was recorded in three different locations this time around: Maui, Vancouver, and the band's home studio in Huntington Beach.[11]
