Love and a .38 – Love and a .38 2010 (EP)

now…ooo

Los Angeles based rockers Love And A .38 are asking for their fans to help fund the recording on a new album. Says the band, “We’ve been doing this rock and roll thing for a few years now, and as a result we’ve got a lot of music that we want to get out to you guys. Trouble is… if we try to pay for it ourselves… it’s gonna take a long time. A REALLY long time. We’d love to expedite the process. Since we know that we have the greatest fans in the world, we thought maybe you guys could help. The studio’s out here in La-La Land ain’t cheap, and neither are quality engineers. So we’re asking you guys to give whatever you can to help us pay these wonderful people. We’ve put together what we think are some pretty rad reward packages for those who donate… so take a look. We’ve set our goal at $15,000. That should be enough to rent out the studio, pay for all the tracking, mixing, and (hopefully) production. If we miraculously surpass our goal… we PROMISE to put that money directly into a “tour” fund so we can come and rock YOUR hometown. That’s the ultimate goal anyway… to bring our rock to all of our awesome fans. You’ve earned it! So please, if you have the means, lend a helping hand. We won’t let you down!”

The Offspring – Days Go By (2012)

The Offspring have debuted the title track / first single from their upcoming ninth album ‘Days Go By’ and it’s what you’d expect from these perennial Warped Tour rockers. Potent melodies, singalong choruses, big power chords, frontman Dexter Holland’s signature nasally vocals and a summer-appropriate energy.

While the Offspring have delivered their share of well-constructed but kitschy novelty songs (‘Pretty Fly (For a White Guy),’ ‘Why Don’t You Get a Job’ and ‘She’s Got Issues’), ‘Days Go By’ is gimmick-free. It’s a bit more contemplative, lyrically and comparatively speaking, as Holland ponders the then and the now. Overall, it has the bouncy rock vibe of a Foo Fighters tune with the added sprinkle of the Offspring’s American punk rock flavor.
