The Offspring Announce New Drummer

Posted by: Rohan Kohli (07/28/07)
The Offspring have announced that Atom Willard has officially left the band to join Angels & Airwaves full time and that Pete Parada, formerly of Saves the Day, Face to Face, and Alkaline Trio, has been appointed as his replacement.
Message on Web SitePete Parada has been chosen to be The Offspring‘s new drummer. The band‘s first shows with Pete will be at the Summer Sonic festival in Japan this August. Pete is a killer drummer and has spent time in Saves The Day, Face to Face, and Alkaline Trio.

In the meantime, The Offspring are continuing to put the finishing touches on a new album, no release date yet. Josh Freese (NIN, Vandals, Devo) has recorded all the drum tracks for the new record.

Atom Willard is now focusing full time on his band, Angels & Airwaves, and remains a friend of the band.

Theres only one answer to this and one only ...to pay the bills, more money in AAA . As much as Tom is painfull to listen to. As far as the offspring they will do just fine with thier new drummer and im sure the drum work on the new upcoming album (josh freese manning the kit in the studio) with one of the top us and la dudes banging the skins is nothing short of amazing.

Atom Willard should gather up the rest of Rocket From The Crypt and have them get back together.

Angels and Airwaves are poised to take over the world, destroying band after band until there is nothing left but the never ending sound of Tom DeLonge's voice. He will live in a magnificent UFO that will orbit the earth maintaining his musical kingdom with a watchful eye. Spreading his word through magazine articles, and internet forum's, Tom's message will be delivered into your homes, infecting listeners, and leaving them no choice but to follow him into musical oblivion.
