The Offspring emerged from Garden Grove, California in the mid-1980s, releasing their self-titled debut album in 1989 and building a reputation that would define American punk rock for decades. The band's best-known era spans the 1990s and early 2000s, anchored by landmark albums such as Smash (1994), Ixnay on the Hombre (1997), Americana (1998), and Conspiracy of One (2000). Smash became a breakout record that established The Offspring as punk rock icons, while Americana remains one of their signature albums and central to their visual identity.
Centered on the long-running partnership of Dexter Holland and guitarist Noodles, The Offspring have remained a vital force in punk rock. Their 2024 studio album Supercharged was released on October 11, 2024, with the first single "Make It All Right" arriving on June 7, 2024. Holland and Noodles confirmed in May 2024 that the album was finished before its title and cover were announced the following month. The band's touring extended into late 2026 in support of the Supercharged era, demonstrating their enduring appeal across generations of punk fans.
