Offended by Everything, a high-energy pop punk band hailing from Dallas, TX, has released "I'm Better Now" as the first single from their upcoming EP We're Safe For Now. The EP will be released on April 11, 2025.

Formed by Jarrett Adlof (vocals/guitar), Zak Howe (vocals), Jared Chreene (guitar), and Josh Sparkowich (drums), Offended by Everything delivers a sound that fuses early 2000s nostalgia with a fresh, hard-hitting edge. Their music captures the angst, heartbreak, and reckless optimism that define the genre, making them a must-hear for fans of bands like The Story So Far, Neck Deep, and State Champs. The band is known for their explosive live shows and emotionally charged anthems. Blending infectious melodies with raw, heartfelt lyricism, the band has carved out a dedicated following in the modern punk scene.

The band says, "After almost TWO YEARS of planning, writing, and touring, we’re so excited to share with you guys our new EP, We’re Safe For Now. Stream our first single "I’m Better Now." Much love to everyone that’s stuck around and supported us to this point. We really do believe that these are the best songs this band has ever put together for you. We’re Safe For Now will be out everywhere on 4/11."

With a growing catalog of releases and a reputation for bringing relentless energy to every stage they play, Offended by Everything continues to prove that pop punk is very much alive and well.

The single may be streamed online here.
