Re: [情報] offspring history
(1993~1997)
1993-'94: The band tours the U.S. once with Lunachicks and next with
Pennywise. They also do a European jaunt supporting NOFX.
1994: Smash, their second album for Epitaph, is released. Featuring the
mega-hits “Come Out and Play (Keep ‘Em Separated),“ “Self Esteem‘ and “
Gotta Get Away,“ the album is a phenomenon. The disc sells more than 11
million copies worldwide, the most ever for a band on an indie label, after “
Come Out and Play” becomes a gigantic MTV hit. The album peaks at #4 on the
Billboard Top 200 albums chart.
1995: Dexter and Greg start Nitro Records. The Huntington Beach-based label
forms a roster that includes such California stalwarts as the Vandals, AFI,
Guttermouth and others. Nitro also reissues the band‘s self-titled debut on
CD for the first time. The Offspring‘s cover of the Damned‘s “Smash It Up”
is featured on the best-selling Batman Forever soundtrack.
1997: The Offspring sign with Columbia Records, and release the Dave
Jerden-produced Ixnay on the Hombre in February. The album sells more than 3
million worldwide and peaks at #9 on the Billboard 200, with singles “All I
Want,“ “Gone Away,“ and “I Choose“ all hitting the Modern Rock charts.
Spin raved: “Punk-rock zealots can take their rage to the grave, but what
this band cares about beyond everything else is what zealots can abide least:
songs.“ The L.A. Times praised the album as “richly varied and thoroughly
smart.. a mature, sometimes daring and always enticing effort by a band that
constantly offers far more than meets the ear.“ Jello Biafra makes a cameo
appearance on Ixnay and joins the band on-stage to perform version of Dead
Kennedy classics “Chemical Warfare“ and “Holiday in Cambodia.”
