Beside touring in celebration of the 20th anniversary of their bestselling 1994 album Smash, The Offspring have also been writing new music to follow up 2012's Days Go By, according to Billboard.
"We already have a couple of things done -- one song we really feel strongly about and want to get out there, and three, four, five songs, total, done or close to done," guitarist Kevin "Noodles" Wasserman told Billboard. "Trying to do it on the road it ends up being piecemeal and a little weird, so we're going to wait 'til we get home and have a couple of days rest and then go in and do the vocals and see what happens."
Wasserman went on to say he is looking into a variety of options for releasing the band's new music so that fans don't have to wait as long to hear new songs. He mentioned releasing the new tracks as singles or on an EP then putting them on a record later.
"It's amazing how immediate everything can be now," he added. "It wasn't like that when we started."
While fans wait for new music, they can revisit Smash in its entirety live while the band is on tour.
About playing the album live, Wasserman said, "They still feel as fresh to me today as when they just came out. But it's great. Smash changed our lives. It took what was our hobby and made it our career."
