Only The Offspring could make an album as high octane as SUPERCHARGED. Aggressive yet melodic, distinctly SoCal yet universal, it’s a record that harnesses the unpredictable live-wire energy of life in the 21st century and turns it into a force both positive and inspiring.
Produced by Bob Rock, the 10 songs on SUPERCHARGED capture The Offspring — pivotal in the birth of the Southern California punk scene — at peak strength. Holland’s lyrics are as sharp as a straight razor, and he delivers them via one of music’s most instantly recognizable voices. Lead guitarist Noodles, Holland’s right-hand man since 1985, shreds and slashes. In SUPERCHARGED singles like “Light It Up,” they live up to their reputation as one of punk rock’s most potent creative teams.
