Offspring Wrap 'Rise and Fall' on New Album

The Offspring have confirmed completion of their first studio album in five years. Titled 'Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace' the follow-up to 2003's 'Splinter' is due out June 17.

"After over a year of recording, I'm happy to announce that we are finishing up our CD this week," frontman Dexter Holland announced. "We've worked really hard on this and I think it's some of the best stuff we've ever done. Our first single is called 'Hammerhead.'"

The song is slated to impact radio in early May.

In advance of the disc's release, the veteran punk outfit will headline the KJEE Summer Round Up on May 18, with kindred musical spirits Pennywise in the support slot. Other dates have yet to be confirmed, although the band promises it will be touring extensively this summer.
