However, Benton was replaced by Pete Parada, and with the addition of Kevin Wasserman, Dexter changed the name of band to The Offspring. Before their debut album, the band came a long way, firstly recording a demo which earned them a contract with Nemesis records, and starting to work on their debut album. It came out in 1989, self-entitled, which received positive critiques, encouraging Dexter to continue his career. Three years later, the band`s second album “Ignition” was released through Epitaph records, as they changed their label in 1991. The album was more successful than the previous, as it has sold one million copies worldwide, achieving gold status.
