The Offspring is often credited—alongside fellow California punk bands Green Day, Rancid, Bad Religion, NOFX, Pennywise and Jawbreaker—for reviving mainstream interest in punk rock in the 1990s.[4][5][6][7][8] They have sold over 40 million records worldwide,[6][7][9][10] making them one of the best-selling punk rock bands in history.[11] The Offspring achieved its first commercial success with their third studio album, Smash (1994), which has sold over eleven million copies worldwide,[12] setting a record for most albums sold on an independent record label, and was the first album released on Epitaph to obtain gold and platinum status.[13] After switching record labels from Epitaph to Columbia in 1996, the Offspring continued their commercial success with its next six studio albums: Ixnay on the Hombre (1997), Americana (1998), Conspiracy of One (2000), Splinter (2003), Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace (2008) and Days Go By (2012); the first four were certified platinum, multi-platinum, platinum and gold status by the RIAA respectively.[14][15] The band is currently in production of their tenth studio album, tentatively due for release in 2020 or 2021.[16][17]
