The Offspring (originally Manic Subsidal) were founded in the mid-80s by guitarist Bryan "Dexter" Holland and bassist Greg K. Their first big success came in 1994 with the release of the third studio album 'Smash', which became still the biggest selling album ever released on an indie label. The album has sold over 12 million copies and garnered six platinum awards. This was followed by albums such as Ixnay on the Hombre, Americana and Conspiracy of One. The punk rock band have announced their 10th studio album, which has been completed and it'll soon be ready for release.
