The Offspring have released their new single Light It Up, taken from their upcoming album SUPERCHARGED.
“This song is a full speed ahead juggernaut!” says lead vocalist/rhythm guitarist Dexter Holland. “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 favourite songs were by punk bands that were just like, “I’m sick of your shit.” And that was ok! It wasn’t like 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 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 love writing songs like that.”
SUPERCHARGED is due for release on 11th October 2024 via Concord Records, available to pre-order HERE.
The Offspring will appear at numerous festivals over the summer – head to the band’s website HERE for a full list of dates.
