History

The Offspring were formed in 1984 under the name Manic Subsidal by singer/guitarist Dexter Holland and bassist Greg K., who later recruited Noodles as their guitarist. After Manic Subsidal changed its name to The Offspring in 1986,[1] drummer Ron Welty finally joined in 1987, then the band recorded a demo a year later. The Offspring signed a record deal with the short-lived label Nemesis Records, and released their first album, The Offspring, in 1989 on vinyl-only. That album would not be released on CD until 1995. Two years later, after the release of the Baghdad EP, the band signed to Epitaph Records (a label owned by then-former and now-current Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz), who released their second album, Ignition, in 1992.

In April 1994, The Offspring released Smash. The critically acclaimed album, also the band's most successful, debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 and number one on Heatseekers, and produced three hit singles: "Come Out and Play", "Self Esteem" and "Gotta Get Away". The album was certified 6x Platinum. With sales continuing seventeen years after its release, Smash has become Epitaph's best-selling album of all time.

After the release of the Smash album, The Offspring parted ways with Epitaph and signed a record deal with Columbia Records. 1997 saw the release of their major-label debut, Ixnay on the Hombre. Although not as successful as Smash, Ixnay sold over 5 million units. In the following year, the band released their next album, Americana, which debuted at number two of the U.S charts, and produced two of the biggest hits: "Pretty Fly (for a White Guy)" and "Why Don't You Get a Job?", and making the album the peak of The Offspring's mainstream popularity.

2000 saw the band release their sixth album, Conspiracy of One. The band intended to release the entire album online through their official website, to show their support for downloading music on the internet.[2] However, under threat of legal action by Columbia through their parent company Sony, only the first single "Original Prankster" was released on their official website (the rest of the record was leaked to fan sites).[3]

While working on a follow-up to Conspiracy of One, longtime drummer Ron Welty left the band in early 2003 to concentrate on his new project Steady Ground. Soon after, the band released their next album Splinter. Uncomfortable with the idea of finding an immediate replacement for Welty, The Offspring opted to have session musician Josh Freese to record the drums for Splinter, and later announced that Atom Willard would be the official replacement for Ron Welty. The album's original title was to be Chinese Democrazy, a name used to mock the name of the long-delayed album by Guns N' Roses. As a result, Axl Rose filed a cease and desist order against The Offspring. However, the order was dropped when it was realized that the announcement of the album's name came on April 1 (April Fool's Day).

2005 saw the release of the band's first compilation album, Greatest Hits. It contains 13 of the band's hits between Smash and Splinter, and two previously never released songs "Can't Repeat" and "Next to You" (a cover of The Police) (a hidden track). The compilation does not contain any material from the first album and Ignition. In support of the Greatest Hits album, the band played the Vans Warped Tour for the first time, and a tour in Europe and Japan followed.

After the Greatest Hits tour, The Offspring took an extended hiatus and Willard left the band in July 2007 to concentrate on his current project Angels & Airwaves. He was replaced by former Face to Face drummer Pete Parada. The band's most recent studio album, Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace, was released on June 17, 2008, but Parada did not record it due to contract issues. The band tapped Freese again to record the drum tracks. The Offspring has sold over 45 million copies worldwide.
