Punk act, The Offspring have shared their newest track, “Light It Up,” from their upcoming album. The new album is titled Supercharged and will be out October 11 via Concord Records.
“This Song is a full-speed-ahead juggernaut! This character in the song is fed up. He’s had enough, and he’s gonna light it up. He’s ready for a fight and I definitely sense a lot of that around me. Growing up, some of my favorite songs were by punk bands that were just like, “I’m sick of your shit.” And that was OK! It wasn’t a negative thing to have those feelings and express that. And I think that’s kind of the vibe of where “Light It Up” is: You’re fed up, you’ve had it, and you want to do something about it. That’s one of the things I’ve always loved about punk-rock. It’s always been about letting out your aggressions, and I think that’s still true. I still lvoe writign songs like that.”
Back in May 2024, The Offspring have played at the Starmus Festival in Slovakia, where they were joined onstage by the festival’s co-founder, Brian May of Queen for two songs: “Gone Away,” and Queen’s “Stone Cold Crazy.”
