Sup people.... have ul ever heard about the awsum band known as The Offspring (heres a link to their home page). i have been listning to them since i was seven. so if ul can do ur math its been a long 12 years. each of their albums are in my opinion better the previouse. well let me take sum time to tell you about this band that formed the foundation for my interest in rock.
The Offspring is an American rock band formed in Huntington Beach, California in 1984. The band is credited along with other bands like Greenday for reviving mainstreme interest in Punk rock in the United states during the mid 1990's. To date they have 8 studio albums, 4 EPs and 3 DVDs. All together they have sold 34 million albums world wide. making them one of the best selling punky rock bands ever.
The bands members are: Dexter Holland (lead vocals, guitar), Noodles (lead and rhythm guitars, backing vocals), Greg K (bass, backing vocals) and Pete Parada (drums, percussion) who is the former drummer for Face to Face and Saves the day) Before Pete came on the seen Ron Welty use to be the drummer but left the band in 2003,
The offspring obtained commericial succes since the release of the album Smash (in 1994), which became the best selling indipendent label album of all time. Othe albums release by the offpsring include: The Offspring (1989),Ignition (1992),Ixnay on the Hombre (1997),Americana (1998),Conspiracy of One (2000) ,Splinter (2003),Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace(2008)
The boys are currently bussy with a new album, which will be released in 2010.
Here are 2 intereview done with the band about their new album ->
"In a May 2009 interview with Calgary, Alberta, Canada's X92.9, guitarist Noodles stated that frontman Dexter Holland had been working with Bob Rock again in Hawaii for what would be the ninth Offspring album. Also in that interview, he said that the album may include some songs that never appeared on Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace.[36][37] Frontman Dexter Holland told OC Register in June 2009 that he wanted to try not to have the ninth Offspring record take as long as Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace.[38] In regards to a new album, Holland told Rolling Stone that the band had conversations about working with Bob Rock again and plans to have the new album out sometime in 2010.[39] Noodles also told the Edmonton Sun that the Offspring were planning to begin recording in the fall of 2009. He also said "We don't have any songs yet. Maybe a couple of demos here and there. But we're looking at old songs and seeing if we could flesh those out"
"In a June 2009 interview with Billboard, Noodles stated that Holland and producer Bob Rock "kinda went over a couple of things that were left off the last record" and "songs that were even left off Splinter or maybe even Conspiracy of One and kind of looked at some things with free eyes and see if there was anything there that can be worked on." He also stated that he would like to have the new album out in 2010, but the band isn't likely to hit the studio until January. Asked in the interview if drummer Pete Parada will be involved in the recording process, Noodles replied, "He's great. We haven't actually done any real recording with him yet, but we're looking forward to that. He's a great drummer. He's got great ideas, just really on top of things. Nothing fazes him; we'll throw something at him, 'Hey, do this,' and, 'OK...' He's a really nice guy and just a real powerhouse drummer, so we're looking forward to working with him."
ok.........now that iv given youl sum facts about this awsum band, il give ul sum of my own input.
My 10 favourite song by this band are:
1. Original Prankster
2.Come out swinging
3.Lighting rod
4. Noose
5. The Kids arnt alright
6.Spare me the details
7.Your gona go far
8. Hammerhead
9."Kristy, Are You Doing Okay?"
10. Stuff is messed up
well like i said this is my fave band. their music is never borring and one reason that has kept me listining to them is the fact that they adapt to modern times, by doing so they never get borring and are able to maintain fans and gain new ones. it basicly helps to survive the hectic rock market. but the main thing that has kept running is the fact that they got tallent, they can easly compete with Gods of Metal (aka Metilica) and any other band.
the only sad thing is that the boys are getting old and who knows how many albums they are still gona be releasing. lets hope these guys get super old and keaping singing until they close the lid on their coffins
Good Points:
Awsum Vocals
Guitars and drum sound perfect
lyrics are catchy and can be related to
they got a lot of experience and they play for the fans and not the money
Bad Points:
They tend to have one or two bad songs on a album for example "when your in prison", i mean what the hell is up with the old people music in this song.
feel free to leave some commints guy and if you dont like the band plz let me know why........
