The Offspring - Smash

Smash is a upbeat, bright and fun album.  The Offspring take the high energy of punk and put a Californian sheen to proceedings.  They don’t have the angst of the original UK punks, but that’s not to say they don’t have a bit of social commentary.  Come Out and Play is about gun violence and Self Esteem is about an abusive relationship.  Not bad for a bunch of Californian punks
