Greg K left the band in 2018 and was replaced by Todd Morse.
Along with fellow California punk bands Green Day and Rancid, The Offspring have been credited with reviving mainstream interest in punk rock in the United States during the mid-1990s. To date, The Offspring has released eight studio albums, one compilation, four EPs and three DVDs. They have sold over 34 million albums worldwide, making them one of the best-selling punk rock acts of all time. Each album since the release of their 1994 album Smash has sold over a million units.
Since the release of Smash, which is the best-selling independent label album of all time, The Offspring has achieved commercial success over five albums, with singles such as "Come Out and Play", and "Self Esteem". The band’s next three albums, Ixnay on the Hombre, Americana and Conspiracy of One, were also successful, with Ixnay on the Hombre and Conspiracy of One reaching platinum certification, and Americana achieving multi-platinum status. Longtime drummer Ron Welty left The Offspring in early 2003, and was replaced by Atom Willard. Later that year, the band released their next album, Splinter, to moderate sales and fairly warm reviews. In 2005, The Offspring released a greatest hits album and toured in support of the compilation. Their eighth studio album, Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace, was released on June 17, 2008 with the hit singles "You’re Gonna Go Far, Kid" and "Hammerhead."
Days Go By is the band’s ninth studio album and is due to be released on June 26, 2012. The Days Go By Songfacts reports that the title track was released as the first single and was premiered on KROQ on April 27, 2012.
2. Offspring was a short-lived English pop duo of the early 1970s, consisting of Mike Brayn and John Howard, who met at Hurstpierpoint College in Sussex, United Kingdom. They released just one single, 'Windfall' (1972). Their planned studio album was never completed.

The Offspring Lyrics
Shelly, Jane, Laura, Stacey
See them on the beach or in New York City
Jennifer and Cyndee
And Sascha and Marvin
Can you name, name, name, name them today
Can you name, name, name, name them today
Chelsea and Gloria and Wendy and Glenda
These are the girls of the USA
The principal girls of the USA
Can you name, name, name, name them today
Can you name, name, name, name them today
Oh Rose, Rose and Denise
And Michelle and Randi, Kamala and Roma
Cynthia and Lisa, Tammi and Virginia
And Stephanie and Jamie-O
These are the girls of the USA
The principal girls of the USA
Can you name, name, name, name them today
Can you name, name, name, name them today

I usually hate covers but this is really good!! Probably one of the best covers i've ever heard because it stays true to the original but also incorporates their style perfectly. I'm a fan of both bands and this is perfection.

Haha, I can't believe they covered this song! The Offspring kick too much ass.

Crap??!?!Dexter is one of rare punk vocalists that have great voice man!
Dan Pilcher

Racing Phuckery
Great cover of the B-52s best song..

The t-shirt Dexter is wearing is so fucking killer! I've seen it in their Woodstock 99 concert. For those who can't read it in this photo, above the "rocking Pope" says "Sex, drugs & rock and roll". They should make it available for sale!

I would've been 21 when I wrote that. My dad used to play their Time Capsule cd years ago and I guess I liked what I heard.
Pablo Poirot
awesome!!! :)

Wow, I never knew The Offspring covered The B-52's. Not a bad job either, Of course I'm sticking with the original but this could grow on me. As long as a band puts in some of their own style into their covers and they don't stink at it I'd say they make good covers.

Not a wide release, I think a demo. pre-Ignition I am quite sure
