The Offspring have once again joined in on the ever-popular holiday music crowd, as they have just released a stirring and heartfelt rendition of Charles Brown’s classic “Bells Will Be Ringing (Please Come Home for Christmas).”
“We’ve always loved the classic Charles Brown version of this song and think it’s really under-appreciated,” noted the Offspring singer Dexter Holland. “We thought it would be the perfect follow up to “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home,”), which we recorded last year, and continuing on the coming home for Christmas theme.”
The Offspring have spent much of the past year playing to sold-out crowds across headlining tours and festival appearances all around the world. The band released their latest album, Let the Bad Times Roll, just last year — marking their first full-length studio album since 2012’s Days Go By.
Currently in the midst of a Canadian tour, they will close out the year with a two-week run of dates in Australia that includes sold-out shows in Perth, Melbourne, Wollongong, Sydney, and Brisbane. The band has announced a spring tour of Europe and the UK and will announce further tour plans in the coming months. Ticket information can be found here.
