The Offspring have released their latest contribution to the holiday music canon: a stirring and heartfelt rendition of Charles Brown’s classic Bells Will Be Ringing (Please Come Home For Christmas). The Offspring have spent much of the past year playing to capacity crowds on headline tours and at festivals across the globe in support of their most recent album, Let The Bad Times Roll. 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 also announced a spring tour of Europe and the UK and will announce further tour plans in the coming months.
“We’ve always loved the classic Charles Brown version of this song and think it’s really underappreciated. 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.” (singer Dexter Holland)
