    The Offspring will release a new album this spring. The disc was produced by Bob Rock and is a follow-up to 2008’s Rise And Fall, Rage And Grace. Singer and guitarist, Dexter Holland said, “I don’t know why but I felt sort of serious writing this record and when I finished I felt I needed to have a few playful songs too. Kind of both sides of the Offspring… Either way I think these songs are all going to be a lot of fun to play live.” Check out the album’s first single, “Days Go By,” below:
