Two years ago, bassist Gregory 'Greg K.' Kriesel, who hasn't performed with THE OFFSPRING since 2018, filed a federal lawsuit against Noodles and Dexter alleging trademark infringement and breach of partnership agreement over the rights to THE OFFSPRING name. Last April, THE OFFSPRING jumped on the 'Tiger King' bandwagon by recording a cover version of THE CLINTON JOHNSON BAND's 'Here Kitty Kitty', a song made popular by Joe Schreibvogel - better known as Joe Exotic, the 'Tiger King' - through the Netflix docuseries. In December, THE OFFSPRING released the official music video for its Rock-produced cover version of 'Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)', a rock song originally sung by Darlene Love and included on the 1963 seasonal compilation album 'A Christmas Gift For You' from Phil Spector. THE OFFSPRING's last single, the aforementioned 'Coming For You', dropped in January 2015. Rather than making us feel like, 'Oh, man, we're not playing good enough,' or whatever, or, 'We're not coming up with the best parts for this,' he makes us feel like we've got more in us and we can bring more to the table. He makes us work and he makes us try harder to be as best as we can, but he does it in a way that's cool - he's not being a dick about it. It's been a real comfortable relationship. Speaking about THE OFFSPRING's working relationship with Rock, Noodles said: 'We hit it off with him immediately. One of the songs on there is gonna be 'Coming For You', which we released, and that song is a good indication.' There's songs that you're gonna hear that are gonna be easily recognizable as vintage-sounding OFFSPRING, for sure. He said: 'It's definitely an OFFSPRING record. In the summer of 2019, Noodles talked to Finland's Kaaos TV about the musical direction of the new OFFSPRING material.

Holland said: 'I feel like we're in a unique period in history where instead of our world leaders saying 'we're doing our best,' it's more like they're saying 'fuck it,' and it's really scary.'ĭexter added: 'Folks are saying, if it's all going to hell, we might as well make the most out of it, or at least go out swinging.

Written in late 2019, the song is said to reflect the 'ongoing challenges' facing the U.S. The official lyric video for the 'Let The Bad Times Roll' title track can be seen below. Singer Bryan 'Dexter' Holland, guitarist Kevin 'Noodles' Wasserman, drummer Pete Parada and new bassist Todd Morse wrote and recorded 'Let The Bad Times Roll' in the last few years at various locations, including the band's studio in Huntington Beach, California. The follow-up to 2012's 'Days Go By' was once again produced by Bob Rock, who also worked on the band's last two LPs. Southern California rockers THE OFFSPRING will release their tenth studio album, 'Let The Bad Times Roll', on April 16 via Concord Records.
