“Days Go By” by The Offspring – The Song of the Week for 6/4/2012

“Days Go By” by The Offspring is the comeback song and official 1st single from the upcoming album Days Go By, set for release on June 26, 2012

Genre: Pop Punk, Alternative Rock

If you follow my blog, you know that The Offspring is near and dear, being the first band that I really got into way back in 1994. And what a catalyst they were to get me into music! So being that The Offspring are back with a new album, I absolutely have to give them some love and showcase their comeback song “Days Go By” as the Song of the Week here on Music Trajectory.

Honestly, I was surprised when I first heard the song. It wasn’t what I was expecting. I liked how they got back to their roots with their last album Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace and the first two singles from that album had that classic Offspring sound. “Days Go By” is a great song and I see that it is doing quite well so far on charts, but I was surprised that it was chosen for the 1st single off the new album. Every 1st single from a new album that The Offspring have released have been that typical faster punk sound that made them famous.

But I digress and I wish The Offspring all the best with the single and the release of the new album. I can’t wait to hear it!
