The Offspring has released their single “Light It Up” from their forthcoming record SUPERCHARGED. Preceded by single “Make It All Right,” the LP is set to be released on October 11, and promises to have “pure energy from the start to the finish.”
Lead vocalist Dexter Holland shares, “This song is a full-speed-ahead juggernaut. This character in the song is fed up, he’s had enough, and he’s gonna light it up. He’s ready for a fight. And I definitely sense a lot of that around me.”
Holland continues, “Growing up, some of my favorite songs were by punk bands that were just like, ‘I’m sick of your shit.’ And that was ok! It wasn’t like a negative thing to have those feelings and express that. And I think that’s kind of the vibe of where ‘Light It Up’ is: You’re fed up, you’ve had it and you want to do something about it. That’s one of things I’ve always loved about punk rock. It’s always been about letting out your aggressions, and I think that’s still true. I still love writing songs like that.”
