Offspring Prepping New Album

It's an hour before Guns n' Roses play their first U.K. show in nearly a decade when Offspring frontman Dexter Holland, sitting backstage in his dressing room at Leeds, gets an idea. "I was thinking of calling [our next album] 'Appetizer for Destruction,' he says with a straight face.
Though it's probably best to take Holland's proposal with a grain of salt, the Offspring are prepping a follow-up to 2000's Conspiracy of One for a February 2003 release.

Holland says his Southern California-based pop-punk outfit has been writing and recording tracks in his home studio for the last eight months. So the band has amassed nine songs -- about three-quarters of the record -- including tracks currently filed under the working titles "What the Fuck," "Poofter," "Milquetoast," and "Spare Me the Details."

"It sounds like an Offspring album," Holland says of the new tunes. "If you like 'All I Want' or 'Bad Habit,' you might like a lot of these songs. We have other songs that are a little more rocking, like 'Gotta Get Away,' and then there are the oddballs that don't sound like anything."

Although the quartet is currently without a producer, Holland says it is likely Brendan O'Brien will again take the reins. "Brendan did our last one and we get along with him really well," he says. "We're friends, and Brendan and I probably speak on the phone maybe once a week."

But before the studio calls, the group will be playing a pair of dates on pro-skater Tony Hawk's "Boom Boom Huck Jam" this fall. "We played the first show in Las Vegas to try out the format with Social Distortion," Holland says. "It's more about the skating, and we're kind of like on the side. But it should be fun."

Social Distortion, Good Charlotte and Devo are also lined up to play dates on the outing.
