The Offspring - Smash

Smash is the third studio album by American punk rock band The Offspring, originally released in April 1984 via Epitaph Records.

Smash still holds the record as the biggest selling indie release of all time, with over 12 million copies sold worldwide; 6 million in the US, peaking at #4 on the US Billboard 200 albums chart.

Smash was The Offspring's introduction into worldwide popularity, and produced a number of hit singles, including "Come Out And Play", "Self Esteem", and "Gotta Get Away".

Along with Green Day's Dookie, Smash was responsible for bringing punk rock into the mainstream, and helped pave the way for the emerging pop punk scene of the 1990s.

As a fan favourite, the album received generally positive reviews from critics and garnered attention from major labels, including Columbia Records, with whom the band would sign a new record deal in 1996.

This album is a 2014 reissue on black vinyl with a printed inner sleeve and remastered audio, pressed in the US via Epitaph Records.
