It’s been a pretty big year for The Offspring. It’s the 40th anniversary of the band, the 30th anniversary of Smash, and they’ve got their new album Supercharged out now on Concord Records. They’ve also done some unlikely collaborations during their music festival appearances–Ed Sheeran joined them for “Million Miles Away,” Queen’s Brian May joined them for an orchestral rock rendition of “Gone Away” and Queen’s “Stone Cold Crazy,” and Offspring singer Dexter Holland joined The Beach Boys for “Wouldn’t It Be Nice.” We caught up with Dexter and guitarist Noodles for a new episode of the BrooklynVegan Podcast to talk about all of those things, as well as their early days getting into the punk scene, how their perspective on punk and songwriting have evolved over the years, longevity in rock and punk, Dexter’s years working with AFI through his label Nitro Records, music they’ve been listening to lately, and more.
