hammerhead.jpgTo continue Free Alt-Rock Day, the Offspring are offering a free download of their new single, “Hammerhead,” which is written from the point of view of a soldier wrestling with the idea of killing for the greater good. The song is a bit more than verse-chorus-verse, further revealing the influence of American Idiot. Are you ready to hear Dexter quote “yea, though I walk in the valley of the shadow of death?” [offspring.com]

    Produced by Bob Rock, and boy do those guitars sound like Metallica.

    Any music-related sentence with the words "soldier" and "greater good" reminds me of Year Zero.

    I guess that is probably where they picked it up, being the Offspring, but you do realize American Idiot is pretty much a carbon copy of Quadrophenia, right?

    Heh...Offspring. Who cares.

    Wait, this is the same band that did that "Keep 'Em Separated" song, right?
