The Offspring have always been considered one of the most popular and influentinal punk-rock bands of the 90's. The band released two albums before the release of their 1994 classic breakthrough album 'Smash'. Four singles from that album, "Come Out and Play", "Self Esteem", "Gotta Get Away" and the radio-only "Bad Habit", helped The Offspring explode into a large mainstream success.

The Offspring have always been considered one of the most popular and influentinal punk-rock bands of the 90's. The band released two albums before the release of their 1994 classic breakthrough album 'Smash'. Four singles from that album, "Come Out and Play", "Self Esteem", "Gotta Get Away" and the radio-only "Bad Habit", helped The Offspring explode into a large mainstream success. Three years later, the band returned with their major-label debut 'Ixnay on the Hombre', which didn't match the success of the previous album, but did sell quiet well. 1998 saw the release of 'Americana' which was just as successful as 'Smash.' However Dexter Holland and the crew decided to take a more pop-punk direction and their music became more simple and poppy. The Offsprings music is now more radio friendly and recieved a lot of radio airplay in the mid 90's. In 2000 they released Conspiracy of One which included the single "Original Prankster". In early 2003, longtime drummer Ron Welty left the band while they were recording their next album, Splinter, which received average reviews, but still sold reasonably well, despite the lack of a third U.S. single. After five years of silence, The Offspring returned with their new album, Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace, in June 2008. Rise and Fall was highly-anticipated and turned out to be yet another huge success. « hide |
