The Offspring are already planning a follow-up to last year’s album Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace. According to guitarist Kevin “Noodles†Wasserman, Dexter Holland recently met with Bob Rock, who produced their latest album, to discuss the next album, which will hopefully be released next year. Apparently, there were songs left off Rise and Fall, as well as Splinter and Conspiracy of One that the band hopes to rework and release on this next album.
This recording will also feature the latest addition to the band, drummer Pete Parada, who joined the band in 2007 and previously played with Face to Face and Saves the Day.
