The Offspring have put out ‘Light It Up’, the second single from their upcoming album SUPERCHARGED. It follows lead cut ‘Make It All Right’. Listen to it below.
“This song is a full speed ahead juggernaut,” bandleader Dexter Holland said in a statement. “This character in the song is fed up, he’s had enough, and he’s gonna light it up. He’s ready for a fight. And I definitely sense a lot of that around me. Growing up, some of my favorite songs were by punk bands that were just like, ‘I’m sick of your shit.’ And that was ok! It wasn’t like a negative thing to have those feelings and express that. And I think that’s kind of the vibe of where ‘Light It Up’ is: You’re fed up, you’ve had it and you want to do something about it. That’s one of things I’ve always loved about punk rock. It’s always been about letting out your aggressions, and I think that’s still true. I still love writing songs like that.”
SUPERCHARGED arrives on October 11 through Concord Records.
