Fans of the punk-rock band The Offspring spent almost a decade waiting for their new album, and their prayers will soon be answered. This iconic band will finally make a comeback with Let the Bad Times Roll, their first album in nine years.

The band’s tenth studio album will be released on April 16th, and it took quite some time to share it with the world. Members of The Offspring recorded it at various different locations over the last several years before finally deciding it’s time for their fans to hear it.

Let the Bad Times Roll is expected to reflect the ongoing changes facing the U.S. and the world at large. The band finished up most of the album by the end of 2019, but they put its release on hold for quite some time due to COVID-related reasons.

The Offspring’s last album Days Go By came out back in 2012. It was followed by EP of Bad Religion and Pennywise covers titled Summer Nationals in 2014, and a hit single “Coming for You”, now set to be featured on Let the Bad Times Roll.
