Yes, friends – it’s true. The Offspring’s long-awaited album “Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace” has officially been released throughout the US and Canada TODAY.
If you’ve been waiting to get your hands on a copy, it’s available for sale now at Amazon.com for $8.99 as a digital download, $9.99 for a CD.
Unfortunately, funds are a little low this month so I won’t be buying it today (bummer…) but if you were planning on snagging a copy for yourself, hop on over to Amazon and get to it!
Stay true,

Happy Monday, everyone – I hope all of you had a fantastic weekend.

The Offspring are hard at work preparing for the release of their new album, which will be the followup to 2003’s release “Splinter.”
As such, the band has added even more dates to their tour, including The Rockwave Festival in Athens, Greece.
What’s more, The Offspring will headline the Summer Round Up from Santa Barbara’s radio station KJEE – that will happen May 18th.

The Offspring have been quite busy lately, and the fact that they’ll be headlining the UK’s Download Festival proves these guys know the meaning of keeping busy. They’re still working on the followup album to their 2003 release Splinter.
Right now, The Offspring will be joining such bands as Rise Against, Judas Priest, HIM and many more. Stay tuned for additional band announcements.
The festival is set for June 13th, 14th, and 15th.
