Iconic punk rock band The Offspring have just shared an energetic new single titled ‘Light It Up’ – the track is taken from their upcoming eleventh studio album ‘Supercharged ‘ which is due out on October 11th via Concord. The album was recorded in three different locations this time around: Maui, Vancouver, and the band’s home studio in Huntington Beach.
“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”, shares frontman Dexter Holland.
“This song is a full-speed-ahead juggernaut!” states Holland on the new single. “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 okay! 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.”
