"Ignition" was released through Epitaph Records on October 16, 1992. Like their self-titled debut album, "Ignition" did not chart on the "Billboard" 200; however, The Offspring began to gather small success in the Southern region of California, mainly the areas of San Diego, Orange County and Los Angeles, and spent a-year-and-a-half touring relentlessly behind the album. Although no videos were released for "Ignition", "Kick Him When He's Down" was released as an airplay-only single in 1995. "Ignition" was certified Gold on January 22, 1996, nearly two years after the release of "Smash". The album has received generally favorable reviews in the years since its initial release, with several reviewers having deemed "Ignition" one of The Offspring's best albums. In October 2011, the album was ranked number two (between Alice in Chains' "Dirt" and Bad Religion's "Generator") on "Guitar World" magazine's top ten list of guitar albums of 1992. On June 17, 2008, Epitaph re-released "Ignition" (along with "Smash") in remastered form. This reissue was released on the same day as then-current album "Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace". The Offspring toured for a-year-and-a-half to promote "Ignition". Their audience continued to hone, supporting such bands as Youth Brigade, The Vandals, Bad Religion, D.I., Guttermouth, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Glue Gun, Momentum, Final Conflict, Face to Face, Pennywise, Rancid, Unwritten Law, RKL, Untrust, Cadillac Tramps and Korn. The Offspring then managed to secure a slot in three major tours in 1993. They opened for NOFX on their "White Trash, Two Heebs and a Bean" tour, and in that summer, the band supported Lunachicks (whose singer Andrea Luna is the sister of Dexter Holland's future wife Kristine) and Iceburn. After the tour ended, The Offspring took a break and went back into the studio to record their third album "Smash". In early 1994, The Offspring landed the opening slot for Pennywise on their "Unknown Road" tour. The "Ignition" tour ended on April 1, 1994 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, just one week before the release of "Smash".
