The Offspring released their last album, Days Go By, n 2012. Now it looks like their new album will be delayed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Frontman Dexter Holland revealed to Download TV that while the upcoming record is “basically done,” it’s currently “on hold.”

“It’s basically done, we’re kinda just doing some last-minute tweaks,” Holland says. “We had a single scheduled to be released and all that stuff, and then this happened. So it’s on hold at the moment.”

The Offspring recorded and released a cover of the Tiger King song “Here Kitty Kitty,” though the video’s been removed from YouTube due to a copyright claim.

Pearl Jam honored the nine lives that were lost on the 20th anniversary of the Roskilde Festival tragedy. On June 30, 2000, Pearl Jam took the stage at the Danish music festival. Eddie Vedder implored the crowd to step back to give space to those who were all the way in the front in the mosh pit. However nine men between the ages 17-26 were suffocated or crushed by the rails and died.

Guitarist Stone Gossard wrote on behalf of the band: “An unexpected moment intervened that forever changed all involved. The 9 young men who were trampled. The lives of their families and loved ones who had to endure imagining their deaths over and over and the reality of never seeing them again. Every person at the festival who witnessed what was happening and tried to do something, maybe pulling someone up, or not being able to…”

Pearl Jam paid tribute to them in their 2002 song, “Love Boat Captain,” with the lyrics, “Lost nine friends we’ll never know, two years ago today.” See Pearl Jam’s full dedication here, and see the Instagram tribute featuring “Love Boat Captain” below.

“As of today, I have been 100% free from all drugs & alcohol for a year & a half… One day at a time,” he wrote. “If you’re reading this & addiction is ruining your life, please know that recovery is possible for you. Find someone in recovery & ask them for help. Life is truly amazing.” He followed the tweet with a list of things he’s grateful for, including his sobriety, the chance to be alive and music — which he adds is “flowing.”

Sevendust has released their first music since 2018’s All I See Is War with a cover of Soundgarden’s “The Day I Tried to Live.”

Singer Lajon Witherspoon in a statement about the 1994 song: “Soundgarden is such an important band to all of us in Sevendust and this love for them goes all the way back to when we were starting,  We discussed trying to do one of their songs and our producer Elvis [Baskette] suggested ‘The Day I Tried To Live.’ When I first heard it, I thought the lyrics were timeless. The lyrics are about trying to experience new things and change the way you live, and we see examples of that every day with what is happening around the world. To have the chance to cover this song and release it is so special to all of us. Thank you, Chris Cornell and Soundgarden.”
