The Offspring: The SUPERCHARGED Interview | Apple Music

The Offspring sit down with Strombo to talk about their new album, SUPERCHARGED.
Dexter and Noodles share their approach to the new project while reflecting on the evolution of the band since their breakout album, SMASH, released 30 years ago. They explore how the pandemic pushed them to elevate their craft, how their music transcends generations, and how they traded a specific brand identity for a catalogue that captures the dynamic nature of human emotion.

Splinter is so underrated... I grew up learning guitar to that album

[@brettbatliner]

Same. Met Noodles and Dexter multiple times. Got my NDM1 signed at a show by Noodles. Dudes are the best in the business. Also Supercharged is absolutely Splinter 2.0

[@thomasvieira5611]

Indeed, great songs in that one. I love the guitar intro for The Noose

Offspring's energy reminds of brazilians positivity...that's probably why most brazilians music fans love The Offspring, and ask them to "come to Brazil"

[@DR-nw7xn]

@@diogom9480 why did they fire their drummer ?

[@crawfordjason]

I was lucky enough to see them play on Halloween night in 1997. It was a unique concert experience, as almost everyone was dressed up in costumes. That feels like a lifetime ago-I was only 16. I wish I could go back and relive those times; I miss them a lot.

[@Droxcy]

Offspring is one of those bands you can't hate. Seeing them live is an insanely fun experience, and everyone needs to go to a show.

[@WaitingForTheHook]

wanna bet? lol

[@DavidOakesMusic]

Maybe live but their last few albums sonically have sounded pretty poor. I think Bob Rock has gone deaf cause Bad Times Roll sounded like they released the demoes by mistake.

[@sidvicious332]

There's a serious brainwashed hatred for them about what happened on their drummer for covid. It really bums me out.

[@weatheredtome]

​@@WaitingForTheHookyou try too hard, kid

[@tvsavery666]

​@@sidvicious332because people have such strong feelings about the vaccination. But Offspring only wanted to keep touring and back then you couldn't travel without being vaccinated. They've said it many times that it wasn't personal. They just wanted to keep working and doing what they love.

🎼Your music is awesome!! You're nailing it, on all levels, in all ways. Your music heals people's deep wounds that overwhelm them. Dexter's lyrics and Noodles guitar notes reaches those places in the soul and body where negative energy has caused pain and suffering. Music liberates people from that pain and suffering. Music is the next best healing energy after divine healing. Thank you for your amazing music you guys create.🎶

Does Zane Lowe decline to do interviews with bands that aren't "serious" and have some "silly songs" in their catalog? I get the impression that if the lyrics can't be interpreted in a super deep way, he's not interested, even if it's a popular group like The Offspring.

[@HumanTimeCapsule]

Is this the band that dropped their drummer over COVID shots??

[@tvsavery666]

They wanted to keep touring and doing what they love but back then you couldn't travel without the vaccination. They had to do that they had to do. They've said it many times that it wasn't personal. I would have done the same thing. I'm not going to let one person keep me from going to work and providing for my family. Providing for my family is infinitely more important than any other belief that i have.
