“At its core, Punk speaks of rebellion, crazy adventures, and of doing things your own way. The Offspring’s lead singer and co-founder Bryan “Dexter” Holland is the personification of this ethos; a “renaissance man” who in addition to fronting an awesome band and surfing, also attained a PhD in molecular biology, completed a 10-day solo flight around the world, and launched his own brand of hot sauce. The Offspring are my favorite band from the mid-’90s Punk era, specifically the Skate Punk subgenre. Skateboarding (and BMX) have largely been associated with Punk Rock culture.”
