Offspring, The

Real Name:
Brian Keith Holland, Gregory David Kriesel, Kevin Wasserman & Pete Parada
Profile:
Brian "Dexter" Holland : Vocals, guitar
Kevin "Noodles" Wasserman : Guitar, vocals
Gregory "Greg K" Kriesel : Bass, vocals
Pete Parada : Drums
Ron Welty : Drums, vocals (1987-2003)
Adam "Atom" Willard: Drums (2003-2007)

In 1984 the punkrock band Manic Subsidal started to perform. At that time the members were Brian Holland (vocals, guitar), Greg Kriesel (bass, vocals) and James Frederick Lilja (drums).
James Lilja left the band in 1987 and Kevin Wasserman and Ron Welty joined and they now called themselves The Offspring when they were performing.

In 2003 Ron Welty left the band and they had no drummer in about a half year, but Atom Willard joined the group in the ending of 2003. That's the reason why they used a studio-drummer, Josh Freese, on the Splinter album.

Four years later, Atom Willard left the band in 2007 and was replaced by former Face To Face drummer Pete Parada.
