The Offspring are a popular American punk rock band consisting of vocalist and guitarist Dexter Holland, Kevin 'Noodles' Wasserman (also on guitar), bassist Greg K. and Ron Welty on drums (pre 2003) replaced by Atom Willard on drums (post 2003).

On March 18, 2003, Ron Welty left The Offspring to devote all his energies on a new band "Steady Ground". The Offspring held hundreds of auditions for a new drummer, finally deciding to announce Atom Willard as the new drummer. Atom Willard was in Rocket From The Crypt for ten years and more recently played with Moth , the Alkaline Trio and Melissa Auf Der Maur.

Although their first album, The Offspring, was very similar to late 1980s punk, the next album, IgnitionIgnition is the second album released by The Offspring on March 8, 1993.

It was 1994's SmashSmash is The Offspring's third album, released on April 19, 1994. Smash sold more than 11 million copies world wide and broke The Offspring into the mainstream, along with pop punk bands like blink-182, Rancid and Green Day. The album peaked at #4 on Bill that brought Offspring into the mainstream; that album sold over eleven million copies worldwide.

In 1996, The Offspring jumped ship from Epitaph and signed with Columbia RecordsColumbia Records is the oldest continually used brand name in recorded sound, dating back to 1888. 1925 Columbia was originally the local company distributing and selling Edison phonographs and phonograph cylinders in Washington, D. Maryland and Delaware.. Many punk rock purists criticized this decision, feeling that The Offspring jumped from an independent to a major label, solely for financial gain. They released their follow up to Smash in 1997, entitled Ixnay on the Hombre. The commercial success of this record was somewhat disappointing, only going on to sell four million copies.

On each album, The Offspring always tend to have a couple of songs based on social/political subject matter, a testament to their punk roots. Songs like "Jennifer Lost The War" and "Kill The President" on The Offspring, "L.A.P.D" on Ignition, "It'll Be A Long Time" and "Not the One" on Smash, and "Meaning Of Life" and "Change the World" on Ixnay On The Hombre, communicated the band's general position on social and political issues (though the band has not been known to be outspoken or active politically, especially by punk standards).

Although Smash was the album that originally brought The Offspring into commercial success and wide recognition, it was the release of "Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)" from the 1998 album AmericanaAmericana is an album released by The Offspring on November 10, 1998 (see 1998 in music).
