An earlier version of "I'll Be Waiting", which was then known as "Fire and Ice", appeared on the long-out of print Subject to Blackout compilation tape, which was also released in 1986 (this version is also available for free to download from the European Offspring website ). They released the single on their self-made Black Label record company, named after the brand of beer. In 1986, the band released their first single the 7" " I'll Be Waiting/Blackball". The band changed their name to The Offspring in 1986. This led to Holland taking over on vocals, and James Lilja joining as the drummer. Thompson was eventually forced out of the band, while Benton left. The band used Thompson's friend, Jim Benton, as their drummer. Doug Thompson was added for vocals, and Kevin "Noodles" Wasserman (formerly of Clowns of Death), the school janitor, was welcomed into the band, allegedly because he was old enough to purchase alcohol for Holland and Kriesel, both of whom were under the legal drinking age. Not long after their formation, Holland had changed his role from drums to guitar and vocals and James Lilja took over the drums. The decision to form a band came outside of a Social Distortion concert when they were refused entry. The foundations for The Offspring began in 1984, when guitarist/vocalist Bryan "Dexter" Holland and bassist Greg Kriesel, who both met on their high school cross-country team, formed a local band called Manic Subsidal.

The band has been in the studio recording a new album, which is due for release in 2012. Splinter was followed five years later by Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace (2008), which was also successful, due to the album's second single " You're Gonna Go Far, Kid" reaching number one on the Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart for 11 weeks and becoming their only gold single in America to date. The Offspring continued to achieve success with their three follow-up albums, Americana (1998), Conspiracy of One (2000) and Splinter (2003), reaching multi-platinum, platinum and gold status respectively. Their first album for Columbia, Ixnay on the Hombre was released in 1997 and was well received by critics. The critical praise given to Smash garnered attention from major labels, including Columbia Records, with whom The Offspring would sign in 1996. The Offspring was widely credited, alongside fellow California punk bands Sublime, Green Day and Rancid, with popularizing and reviving mainstream interest in punk rock in the United States. Their 1994 third studio album Smash became a breakout success and eventually sold over 12 million copies worldwide, setting a record for most albums sold on an independent label. The band's first two albums for the independent record labels Nemesis and Epitaph earned them a following. The Offspring was originally part of the punk scene in their early career.
