Back in February, the Offspring announced their first full-length album in almost nine years with its title track “Let The Bad Times Roll.” Now, they are back with a chaotic new visual for the single and let’s just say things get a little… strange.

What do both Schitt’s Creek and emo music have in common? Far-reaching relatability that fluctuates wildly between being hilarious and heart-wrenchingly sentimental.
