The Offspring is the debut studio album by American rock band the Offspring, released on June 15, 1989, by Nemesis Records.[2] After being out of print for years, the album was re-released by Nitro and Epitaph Records in 1995 with a different album cover. Both the re-releases on the two respective labels are nearly identical. The Offspring has rarely played any songs from this album live since the Ignition tour finished in 1994.
