OFFSPRING

The Offspring is an American punk rock band from Huntington Beach, California, formed in 1984.[2] Originally formed under the name Manic Subsidal, the band consisted of lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Dexter Holland, bassist Greg K., lead guitarist Kevin "Noodles" Wasserman and drummer Pete Parada.

The Offspring went through several lineup changes over the years, and Holland and Greg K. have been the only constant members. The band were often credited—alongside fellow California punk bands Green Day, Bad Religion, NOFX, Pennywise and Rancid—for reviving mainstream interest in punk rock in the 1990s.[3][4] They have sold over 40 million records worldwide,[5][6] being considered one of the best-selling punk rock bands of all time.[7]
