Supercharged is the eleventh studio album by the American punk rock band the Offspring,released on October 11,2024 on Concord Records and was produced by Bob Rock,who had worked with the band on its previous three studio albums. [12] It is the band's first album to feature bassist Todd Morse as an official member,although the tracks he played on are unknown,and the band's first album to feature multi-instrumentalist Jonah Nimoy and drummer Brandon Pertzborn,making it the first album with the band as a five-piece.
In a September 2022 interview with Brazilian radio station 89FM A Rádio Rock,frontman Dexter Holland confirmed that the Offspring had begun working on new material for their eleventh studio album:"...[W]e wanna keep things rolling. We had to take time off in the pandemic and we feel like,'We're back at it. Let's make the most of it right now.' So we're working on a new album." [13] [14] Holland told Times Colonist in November that the band would begin recording their new album in January 2023 with Bob Rock. [15] The Offspring announced on social media in March 2023 that they were "back in the studio." [16]
In September 2023,when Noodles was asked if the new Offspring material follows an "old-school" vein or if it represents "a new era of Offspring",he stated that "It's a little bit of both all that. The last song we did definitely sounds like an old-school —sounds kind of like 'Come Out Swinging'. Definitely some old-school stuff and then some rocking stuff and then some kind of poppy punk stuff too,for sure." [17]
In a May 2024 interview with Atlanta's 99X radio station,Holland and guitarist Noodles confirmed that the band's eleventh studio album was completed and that they were working on the cover art and album title. [18] [19] The following month,it was announced that the album was titled Supercharged and will be released on October 11,2024. The first single from the album,"Make It All Right",was released on June 7. [12] The second single,"Light It Up" was released on August 2. [20] The third single,"Come to Brazil",was released on September 13. "OK,But This Is The Last Time" had a visualizer released on October 11, [21] before being released as the fourth single on May 30,2025. The fifth single,“Looking Out For #1”,was released on June 27,2025,as well as two new versions of the song;one being a ska version,the other being a Dublin version.
Holland later told in a press release "We wanted this record to have pure energy —from the start to the finish! That's why we called it Supercharged,from the height of our aspirations to the depths of our struggles,we talk about it all on this record…in a way that celebrates the life that we share and where we are now." [22]
The album was recorded at three different locations:Maui,Vancouver,and the band's home studio in Huntington Beach. [23] The drum duties were split between new drummer,Brandon Pertzborn,and returning session drummer,Josh Freese,while the bass duties were split between lead vocalist,guitarist and primary songwriter Dexter Holland and bassist Todd Morse.
Critic reviews were generally favorable,with many regarding Supercharged as an improvement over their previous album, Let the Bad Times Roll (2021);despite this,it became the Offspring's first studio album since Ignition (1992) not to enter the Billboard 200 chart. [24] The album was preceded by the singles "Make It All Right","Light It Up","Come to Brazil","Ok,But This Is The Last Time" and "Looking Out For #1". [21]
