]]> riseandfall2.jpgYes, 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,

]]> 1007270_us_currency_4.jpgHappy Monday, everyone – I hope all of you had a fantastic weekend.

The last few days have been great for Offspring news, and I’m happy to announce the latest developments. Apparently, The Offspring have launched a video contest for their new single “Hammerhead.”

The contest is simple. Interested participants must create a video using the “Hammerhead” song and upload it to YouTube. Be creative! Do not use any photos or video footage of The Offspring; all footage of your video must be self-shot.

The grand prize winner of the contest will be hand picked by the band and walk away with $10,000. The most viewed submission will win a cool $3,000, while the most favorited submission will net $2,000.

For contest details and complete rules, click here.

What are you waiting for? Enter today!

]]> theoffspring.jpgThe Offspring are nothing if not busy; in addition to getting ready for their forthcoming album Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace (look for it June 17th), the band also recently announced three festival dates they plan to be a part of.

On May 16th, look for the band alongside Pennywise, Jimmy Eat World, etc. at the 91x X-Fest in San Diego. This is my hometown, so I may get a group of friends and  head out to the festival. We’ll see!

You can also catch The Offspring in action at Big Gig in Denver, CO on July 26th, and again in Baltimore at the Virgin Mobile Festival on August 9th.

If you’d like to see ‘em live, mark your calendars and hop to it!

Stay True,

Entitled “Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace,” the record will drop June 1st, 2008.

After nearly a year working on the album, I’m glad we finally have a name and a date – and I’m sure other Offspring fans are, too!

]]> theoffspring.jpgThe 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.

If you want to keep up to date on their forthcoming album, tour dates or whatever, please click here. I’m eagerly anticipating the new album, and I’m sure most of their fans are doing the same.

]]> 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.
