Artist Biography

The Offspring is a popular punk / alternative rock band, formed in 1984 in Garden Grove, California by vocalist/rhythm guitarist Dexter Holland and bassist Greg Kriesel under the name "Manic Subsidal", inspired by a Social Distortion concert. In 1985 their school janitor, Noodles, joined on lead guitar with drummer James Lilja. Lilja later left before their first LP to become a gynecologist. Their second drummer, Ron Welty, played with The Offspring from their self titled debut album until the making of Splinter . They hired Josh Freese to play the drums on that album, then brought in Atom Willard to go along on tour. Willard later left to join Angels & Airwaves, and after Freese returned to drum on Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace, Pete Parada joined as the band's fulltime drummer.
