The Offspring on Supercharged, 30 Years of Smash, and Jamming with Brian May, Ed Sheeran, and YUNGBLUD

Kyle Meredith With...

The Offspring are back with a brand new album, Supercharged, arriving October 11th, just three years after their previous effort, Let the Bad Times Roll. That's quite an upgrade from the nine-year gap between 2012's Days Go By and Bad Times, and the band's Dexter Holland and Noodles tell Kyle Meredith about the momentum they’ve found and why Supercharged feels like their most energetic release in years. Listen now.

With Supercharged arriving just as the band hits their 40th anniversary and their classic Smash marks its 30th, Dexter and Noodles acknowledge the incredible longevity of their career. They’ve even dusted off the entirety of Smash for live shows this year. “It’s always fun to bring those old songs back to life,” says Noodles. Dexter agrees while reflecting on the band's continuation. “This isn’t just a means to get back on tour — this is a serious album for us.”

The band has also had the opportunity to collaborate with legends and fresh faces alike. Dexter speaks enthusiastically about their recent performance with Brian May of Queen. Noodle, meanwhile, shares what it was like to share the stage with Ed Sheeran and Yungblud recently.
