The three events are also celebrating the band’s recent social media influenced release “Come To Brazil.”
The Offspring have fans from all over the world, but the new track celebrates their fans who are asking them to (literally) “Come To Brazil.” The track produced by Bob Rock (Metallica, Mötley Crüe, Aerosmith) is another killer track off of the band’s SUPERCHARGED album out October 11th via Concord Records. Listen to “Come To Brazil” HERE.
On the track Dexter Holland says: “Every time we announce any shows we get comments from our Brazilian fans saying ‘Come to Brazil!’ which we love! Brazil really does go off. It has enthusiasm, passion and is an amazing place to play! I hope the Brazilian fans really make this one their own!”
The song opens up with an iconic intro featuring heavy guitars and ends with the iconic football chant “Olé, Olé, Olé, Olé” all the while talking about how their Brazilian fans can’t get enough of The Offspring, noting lyrically: “It doesn’t matter how many times we came, ‘Cause they want us back again just the same, And the flights are long but they won’t stop, Until we come to Brazil.” The song also comments on the social media requests the band has received from their Brazilian fans noting: “DM’ing all the time, they’re begging you will say you’ll come to Brazil.”
The new track is already a fan favorite, especially with their Brazilian fans who have been posting about the song non-stop (see video here).
The track follows their recent #1 song “Make It All Right” which hit #1 on BOTH the Alternative Airplay Chart (Mediabase) AND the Active Rock Chart (on Mediabase) as well as #1 on the Billboard Rock & Alternative Airplay Chart. In addition, the band has also released the high energy track “Light It Up.”
“Make It All Right” marks the band’s sixth #1 song on the Active Rock Chart, following “I Choose“ (1997), “Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)” (1998),“The Kids Aren’t Alright” (1999), “Hit That” (2003), and “Gone Away” (1997)-which remained on #1 on the chart for 5 consecutive weeks and the song that Queen’s own Brian May performed with them earlier this year. It also marks the first time ever The Offspring have had a #1 at both Alternative and Active Rock radio in the band’s history!
On the Alternative Airplay Chart “Make It All Right” marks the band’s fourth #1 song on the Alternative Airplay Chart following “Come Out and Play (Keep ‘Em Separated” in 1994, “Hit That” in 2003, and recent Spotify Billions Club inductee “You’re Gonna Go Far, Kid” which hit #1 for 11 weeks straight in 2008. This only adding to the accolades the band has hit over the years with over 40 million records sold worldwide.
Not to mention the song hit #1 on Billboard’s Rock & Alternative Airplay chart. The #1 follows “Days Go By” which hit #4 in 2012 and “Coming for You” (No. 7 in 2015) and “Let The Bad Times Roll” (No. 5 in 2021) which hit Top 10. The song just continues to climb!
