I can’t really think about The Offspring without being reminded of my seventh-grade self blasting Americana at inopportune moments, but let’s put that aside for a second.

The band has released their new single Hammerhead as a free MP3 download from their website. A handful of artists have been doing this, but what’s interesting about this one is that they have released the MP3 compressed at 320kbits, which not only makes it higher-quality than any of the other free singles bands have been giving away, but that’s also better than Amazon or iTunes, including iTunes Plus. There’s no album art embedded in it, but hey, you can’t have everything.
