Band History and Info

The Offspring got together over a decade ago in Orange County, California. Recording songs and almost constant touring kept them busy for years until their song "Come Out And Play" made a nationwide breakthrough. Their album "Smash" went on to international success, selling over eight million copies. On their new album, "Ixnay On The Hombre", members Dexter Holland, Noodles, Greg K. and Ron Welty continue to develop their unique style of punk rock infused with elements of ska, hardcore and pop music.
