The Offspring’s long-awaited 10 th album Let The Bad Times Roll finally lands, and hits more than it misses… Words: David McLaughlin Theoretically, a more efficient punk band could have formed, broken up and played reunion shows in the time it has taken The Offspring’s 10 th album Let The Bad Times Roll to see the light of day. A lot has happened since the stalwart Californians put out their last record Days Go By in 2012, with everything from label uncertainty, line-up issues, subsequent legal tussles, a global pandemic and life getting in the way. Considering the fact that its lead single Coming For You came out six long years ago, the band would have been forgiven for thinking the process was doomed and giving up on these songs ever being released. After almost four decades together, frontman Dexter Holland and guitarist Noodles hardly need to do this, after all, and yet here, finally, they are. Despite their often overlooked yet stupendous commercial success throughout the ’90s and early ’00s, America’s most underappreciated punk band are back for another round of defying the odds.
