AFTER GRINDING FOR A DECADE A SO CAL PUNK ALT BAND FINALLY BROKE THROUGH THE MAINSTREAM AND DID IT ON AN INDIE LABEL…IT WAS A SMASH…LITERALLY, THE ALBUM TITLED SMASH FROM THE OFFSPRING WAS RELEASED ON THIS DATE IN 1994 AND THANKS TO THE ENERGETIC AND RELATEABLE SINGLES “COME OUT AND PLAY” AND “SELF ESTEEM”, THE ALBUM SOLD OVER 10 MILLION COPIES GLOBALLY AND BECAME THE BEST SELLING INDEPENDENTLY RELEASED AND DISTRIBUTED ALBUM OF ALL TIME! AND FOR THIS GEN X’ER AND MANY OF MY PEERS…THE ALBUM WAS A RETURN TO A PUNK SENSIBIILITY…A REBELLION OF SORTS…AND WHEN I WAS HANGING OUT AT THE OL’ JUDGES CHAMBERS BACK IN THE MID 90’S..”SELF ESTEEM” WAS MY GO-TO JUKE BOX PLAY….AND WE SANG IT SO LOUD AND OFF KEY…AHHHH…THE MEMORIES! THE OFFSPRING’S “SELF ESTEEM”…TODAY’S ROXY’S ROCK REWIND ON 105.7 THE X IN THE 5 O CLOCK FREAK OUT! ~RoXy
