The Offspring’s 15th-anniversary reissue of Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace includes a bonus 7” with a couple of live songs from Hellfest. Summer tour announced.
“I needed an escape from the ‘no fun real world’ that was just outside the studio door and wanted to utilize finally having some time to myself, to be myself.”
Social Distortion, The Offspring, and Jello Biafra with DOA are called up from the reserves. Stalwarts NOFX, Pennywise, and Anti-Flag provide dutiful service.
The faves of surfers, skaters and snowboarders on an enhanced CD. Some unreleased tracks. And the interactive part of the disc is actually (gasp!) interactive.
The Offspring “Smash It Up.” Michael Hutchence goes solo from INXS. Sunny Day Real Estate gain exposure. And Flaming Lips was hilarious when set to Jim Carrey.
