The Offspring is the debut studio album by American rock band the Offspring, released in October 1989, by Nemesis Records. 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 early-to-mid-1990s when they were touring for either Ignition or Smash.
