![Although they’re called the Offspring, the Orange County, California band are in fact the begetters of a movement which has spawned both massive commercial success and nearly as much controversy in rock since the mid-90’s. With their 1994 radio hit “Come Out and Play” (which has always been more commonly referred to as “Keep ‘Em Separated”) from the prophetically-titled album ‘Smash’, the Offspring – along with fellow Californians Green Day and Blink-182 – brought punk rock literally kicking and screaming into the mainstream, opening the doors for bands like Good Charlotte and Fall Out Boy (just to name a few). Naturally, there were endless cries of “sell out” (which wasn’t helped by the fact that the Offspring did leave stalwart punk label Epitaph for industry behemoth Columbia), and just as many accusations that the band was no longer punk, or if they ever were in the first place. Still, the mainstream rock audience by and large stood by the Offspring, as every subsequent one of their albums through 2000 went Top 10 and platinum in the US. Find out our thoughts on the Offspring’s latest album in eleven years titled ‘Let the Bad Times Roll’.
