THE OFFSPRING RELEASE ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF ‘SMASH’
20 years ago, The Offspring released their breakout album Smash on Epitaph Records and made history. Now, The Offspring release a special 20th anniversary edition of Smash, the album that changed punk rock – available in stores today.
The Smash 20th Anniversary Edition will include the following:
– LP version containing the original 14 album tracks newly remastered on 180-gram vinyl
– CD version containing the original 14 album tracks from the most recent remastering
– Restyled album package artwork in a deluxe custom die-cut LP box
– Large format 24 page booklet featuring never before seen archive photos by Lisa Johnson
– Firsthand recollections and quotes from the band and others telling the story of that historic time
Smash has sold over six million copies in the United States alone – certified 6x platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. Selling 11 million copies worldwide, Smash is the best-selling independent label album of all time.
The Offspring are currently on their Summer Nationals 2014 tour with Bad Religion and Pennywise along with other bands on select dates including Stiff Little Fingers and SoCal punk buds The Vandals. Visit Offspring.com/tour for the full list of current tour dates.
The band recently released the third music video from their latest album Days Go By – an animated dual salvo of the songs “Dividing By Zero” and “Slim Pickens Does The Right Thing And Rides The Bomb To Hell” that is currently available exclusively on VEVO.com. Animated by Anthony Schepperd, the video follows a young rebel in his quest to fight evil as an angel of chaos watches. He ultimately finds himself in a post-apocalyptic world where the lines between good and evil are hopelessly blurred.
