It was announced on July 27, 2007, that former Saves the Day drummer Pete Parada had been chosen to be the Offspring’s new drummer, replacing Atom Willard, who went to focus on Angels and Airwaves . The band’s first shows with Parada were at the Summer Sonic festival in Japan in August 2007. It was during these shows that the band debuted ” Hammerhead “, which would become the first single from the new album. Parada did not record on the new album due to contract issues however; Josh Freese once again handled drum duties as he did with Splinter .
