Artist The Offspring

  • The Offspring

A lot of ’90s punk bands have, against all odds, aged with something resembling dignity and legitimacy. The Offspring is not one of them. While their peers like Green Day and, heck, even NOFX have earned some solid respect, Dexter Holland’s tuneless, tone-deaf crew has pumped out album after tedious album, the latest of which is 2008’s Rise And Fall, Rage And Grace. Some might credit The Offspring’s enduring attitude as an effort to stick to its roots, but its music sounds like a concerted effort to resist maturity.
