Pre-Order SUPERCHARGED HERE
Listen to ‘Make It All Right’ HERE
‘Make It All Right’ is classic The Offspring, with huge punk rock riffs, massive production and a mountain sized chorus. Lyrically though, it talks about how it feels to have your “partner in crime” by your side, the person who makes you feel like you can do anything and give you confidence things will work out: “And you make it all right, And it’s gonna be fine, We’re like partners in crime, And you make it all right.”
In talking about the track and the upcoming release of ‘SUPERCHARGED’ frontman Dexter Holland said: “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. Our single “Make It All Right” is a great example of this because it talks about the people in our lives who make us feel strong when we are feeling low – our partners in crime who make us feel all right.”
“The album was recorded in three different locations this time around: Maui, Vancouver, and our home studio in Huntington Beach, and together with our producer Bob Rock everything came out awesome. I feel like this is the best we have ever sounded! We’ve been rocking out and head-banging to it for months! And we can’t wait for you guys to hear it!”
Live wise the band will be in the UK next week performing main stage Download Festival on Saturday June 15th, their first UK performance since last years headline slot at the Slam Dunk Festival in Leeds and Hatfield.
Last week, THE OFFSPRING performed to a massive crowd at Napa’s BottleRock Festival performing a career-spanning fan favourites set, and were joined by a very special guest – global superstar Ed Sheeran. Sheeran – who is a longtime fan of THE OFFSPRING – surprised the crowd and performed “Million Miles Away” from the band’s Conspiracy of One album (released in 2000). Earlier in the day Sheeran rehearsed with the band backstage- even showing off his Offspring tattoo inspired by Conspiracy of One– before joining them onstage.
As fans erupted as Sheeran walked onstage, Dexter said to the crowd: “Ed told us that one of our records was one of his first cd’s he ever bought when was a kid and that really meant a lot to us and we thought wow we’d love to have you come out and join us onstage. We’re gonna play a song he wanted to play: “Million Miles Away.” See performance HERE and Sheeran’s post on the iconic performance HERE.
Earlier in the day the band joined Alton Brown at the William Sonoma Stage where they used some of Dexter Holland’s Gringo Bandito Hot Sauce to spice up some wings! See photos HERE.
Then just a few days later, on June 1st, the band performed a special sold-out hometown arena show in Anaheim, CA for “The Offspring: 30th Anniversary of SMASH and Honda Center” concert-celebrating over three decades of their iconic 6x Platinum album SMASH and the historic Honda Center. The band performed SMASH in its entirety plus some fan favourites. See footage from the show HERE
