More about The Offspring and their music career

The Offspring was originally formed in 1984 under the name Manic Subsidal before a series of line-up changes eventually led to the band members settling on the name The Offspring, presumably after a B movie called The Offspring: They Were Born to Kill.

Offspring recorded and released their eponymously titled debut album, as well as their second studio album, to little mainstream attention, resulting in two US tours and a European tour, alongside the band's signing on with Epitaph Records.

They then released their ground-breaking punk-rock album Smash, which is considered to be one of the pioneers of punk-rock music. The album was released in 1994 and peaked at number 4 on the Billboard 200 album chart, as well as being a chart-topper on the ARIA chart.
