'Smash' is the third studio album by American pop-punk legends The Offspring, released on 8th April 1994 through Epitaph Records.
While their previous album 'Ignition' had exceeded both the band's and the label's commercial expectations, it did not give The Offspring a major commercial breakthrough; 'Smash' was The Offspring's introduction into worldwide popularity. It produced a number of hit singles, including 'Come Out and Play', 'Self Esteem' and 'Gotta Get Away'. Along with Green Day's 'Dookie', 'Smash' was responsible for bringing punk rock into the mainstream, and helped pave the way for the then-emerging pop punk scene of the 1990s.
The album received generally positive reviews from critics and garnered attention from major labels, including Columbia Records, with whom the band would sign in 1996. Peaking at number four on the US Billboard 200, 'Smash' has sold over eleven million copies worldwide, making it the best-selling album released by an independent record label; it was also the first Epitaph release to obtain gold and platinum status. In the US, 'Smash' has sold over six million copies and has been certified six times platinum by the RIAA.
