Rockers The Offspring are heading for a showdown with their record label; by encouraging fans to download new album Conspiracy of One through Napster.
In a posting on the band's website www.OFFSPRING.com, guitarist Kevin ‘Noodles’ Wasserman said he wanted fans to hear the album well ahead of its November 13 (00) release.
The Pretty Fly superstars originally intended to make the album available for MP3 download through their site.
After a heated battle with record bosses the band were allowed to
place forthcoming single Original Prankster on their site for download. However, the band was still unhappy with the result.
The new move by the band looks set to inflame the situation
again.
In the latest posting, Noodles also declares his delight at the
record, calling it "the most straightforward punk-f***ing-rocking
record we have ever recorded” – Wenn.
