The Offspring band, funny daring guys, recently recorded and released their new album "RISE AND FALL, RAGE AND GRACE". The first reports that the punks started working on the next record appeared back in 2006, but they completed it only now.

Two decades have passed since the release of The Offspring's debut single "I'll Be Waiting / Blackball", and they, already forty-year-old family men, are still childish like teenagers (the literal translation from the English name of the group is "offspring"), break the prize places on the charts all over the world, and are the undisputed leaders among teen idols. Surprisingly, these punks, unlike their many musical colleagues, who were known as slobs and brawlers, are decent, educated and responsible people. For example, frontman Dexter Holland holds a Master of Science degree in molecular biology and a pilot's license. Such an image does not at all fit with the requirements that the public makes of punk heroes. The Offspring are not at all complex about this. What difference does it make what kind of houses they are for family, for friends? The main thing is that on stage they come off to the fullest, have fun, play the fool, like children. They know what fans expect from them, they meet their needs, they are used to being liked by people.

The Offspring needs no introduction; in the shapeless mass of monotonous punk rock, they are recognizable from the first chords. Their compositions, written in the best traditions of the genre, tell about the life of ordinary teenagers who are eager to annoy teachers, get out of class and, of course, fall in love for the first time.

The Offspring were already in Moscow six years ago. Since then, the capital has brought up a new batch of teenagers who consider themselves adherents of punk rock. Considering how incendiary the Moscow performance of The Offspring was in 2002, it can be assumed that this time the hall will simply burst from the influx of fans: those who have already been to their concert once will come, and those who managed to fall in love with iconic punks only in recordings .

As part of the world tour in support of the new album "RISE AND FALL, RAGE AND GRACE", on December 3, the only concert of the cult punk band The Offspring will take place at the Olympiysky sports complex.
