Noodles of The Offspring spoke to Italian fan site Offspring.it at the I-Day Festival in Bologna, Italy last Sunday. Noodles talked about progress on the band's follow up to Rise And Fall, Rage And Grace:

We're shooting for really next year… and we should have it done by the end of this year you know, and then really next year we'll start moving on working on the artwork and all that…

Since their last album in 2008, the band released the Japan-only compilation Happy Hour.
