Splinter

"We really wanted to put that song out as a first single because we thought that it sounds like us for sure, but it has some different sounds that we haven't done before. To me it sounds like a song with a hip hop verse and a punk chorus. I know some people are saying wow, what the hell, when they first hear it, but I like that." - Noodles

Almost two decades, six albums and 32 million records sold, those two pals, vocalist/guitarist Dexter Holland and bassist Greg K, along with fellow classmate (and school custodian) guitarist Noodles, are still delivering on their seventh effort, Splinter.

The Album was recorded in L.A. and Atlanta, produced once again by Brendan O'Brien (who was behind the boards for 2001's Conspiracy Of One), with The Vandals' Josh Freese sitting in after the departure of drummer Ron Welty, who'd been with the band since 1986.

Completing the old-school punk reunion are Pennywise's Jim Lindberg and former California gubernatorial candidate Jack Grisham of TSOL (who are signed to Dexter's Nitro Records) doing backing vocals on "The Noose" and "Da Hui."
