Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace is the eighth studio album by American punk rock band the Offspring, released on June 11, 2008, by Columbia Records.

The Offspring had been working on new material since the fall of 2004,[5] but showed no further signs of progress until November 2006, when they announced on their official website that they had begun recording with producer Bob Rock.

Work for Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace dates back to September 2004, when frontman Dexter Holland said that he wanted to put out the next Offspring album in 2005 and that the new songs felt "pretty good".

[7] On June 13, 2006, Holland stated that the band (minus Willard) had been meeting every week and would begin recording shortly.

In September 2006, it was announced that the album would be produced by Bob Rock, who was working with Holland and "helping him sort out songs.

"[9] On November 16, 2006, the Offspring announced on their website that they had begun recording the album with Rock, with an intended release date of spring 2007.

(in response to rumors that the unreleased song "Pass Me By" and the re-recording of their 1992-song "Dirty Magic" would appear on the album) and commenting that the new tracks "sound like a friggin' freight train.

"[10] In July 2007, Holland also confirmed that the band had finished "two more songs" and the album was being recorded in Orange County, California.

[16] During the Offspring's three May 2008 concerts in California, "You're Gonna Go Far, Kid" was the only new song besides "Hammerhead" that was played, also causing fans to believe this would be the second single.

In March 2009, the Offspring announced on their official website that they would be touring North America from May through July with Dropkick Murphys, Alkaline Trio, Street Dogs, Pennywise, Shiny Toy Guns and Sum 41.

Before the 311 and Pepper tour, the Offspring played four East Coast Dates in June, which was supported by Terrible Things.
