Smash

Smash is The Offspring's third album, released on April 19, 1994. Smash sold more than 11 million copies world wide and broke The Offspring into the mainstream, along with pop punk bands like blink-182, Rancid and Green Day.

The album peaked at #4 on Billboard's pop albums charts and #1 on the Heatseeker's chart. Signed to Epitaph Records, The Offspring's surprise success made the indie label one of the most promising ones in the United States, performing better than thought possible for an indie-released album. "Come Out and Play (Keep 'Em Separated)", with its mixture of Middle-Eastern rhythms, punk energy and anthemic chorus, became a huge hit single and one of the band's signature songs.
