The Offspring ‘Smash’ 30th anniversary concert
Originally released on April 8th, 1994 through Epitaph Records, Smash became a defining moment not just for The Offspring but for punk rock as a whole.
The album climbed to No. 4 on the Billboard 200, earned six times Platinum certification from the RIAA and helped push punk into the mainstream while becoming one of the most successful independent releases ever.
The anniversary performance stays faithful to that original track order and captures the energy that made the record connect in the first place.

Thirty years on, songs like Come Out and Play, Self Esteem and Bad Habit still hit with the same immediacy that made Smash impossible to ignore in the first place.
