The band headed on a tour, but it was cut after Wasserman was stabbed during one of the benefit concerts. In 1989, The Offspring recorded the debut eponymous album, produced by Tom Wilson - known for his work with Social Distortion, The Vandals and Dead Kennedys. However, Lilja did not stay in the band for long - after the first single I'll Be Waiting/Blackball he was substituted by Ron Welty. In 1985, the command changed the title for The Offspring. Soon Thompson and Benton left the collective and Holland became the lead vocalist, while James Lilja replaced Benton on drums.
The other members of Manic Subsidal, as the artists initially called the group, became Doug Thompson, Kevin Noodles Wasserman and Jim Benton. In 1984, guitarist Bryan Dexter Holland and bassist Gregory Kriesel, more known as Greg K., decided to create their own punk band after they both were refused to enter the Social Distortion performance.
