Offspring - Smash

Released in 1994 on Epitaph Records, Smash is the album that propelled Offspring from underground punk heroes to global icons. Recorded in North Hollywood following extensive touring for Ignition, the record blends raw punk aggression with grunge-era intensity, delivering anthems that would help redefine alternative music in the 1990s.

With massive singles like “Come Out and Play,” “Self Esteem,” and “Gotta Get Away,” Smash became a cultural landmark, selling over 11 million copies worldwide and earning its place as the best-selling independent label album ever released. Alongside releases from Green Day, Bad Religion, and Rancid, Smash helped bring punk rock back into the mainstream and laid the foundation for the pop punk explosion that followed. A true fan favorite and essential punk LP, this album remains as loud, sharp, and relevant as ever.
