Good Morning Hive friends! It's Friday, and that means it’s #NinetiesFriday!
First up the album prior to 1994’s breakout mainstream Smash album! 1992 release Ignition!
(1992 Release)
Kick Him When He's Down ⬇️
Session ⬇️
This album like its follow up mainstream success was also on Epitaph records. To me it sounds just like smash with less production.

Just gonna be honest, I originally was going to talk my top ten favorite Epitaph records released in the nineties but I was talking for 40 minutes and realized ain’t gonna work. So I edited out rest and did a vlog on just the offspring and there journey from independent record label to selling 10 million albums while still independent!
Then I go into the 4 albums following it and there major label journey. I briefly talk Rancid’s 1995 Out Come The Wolves because it was the only other record on that label to get mainstream love like them playing SNL and being all over MTV. But definitely not as much as Green Day or Offspring. Below I’ll pick four tunes from all the albums discussed as a sample listen. I’ll post two singles then two songs I liked that aren’t singles. One exception will be 1998’s Americana , my fav pick will be the third single “the kids aren’t alright! Enjoy! 🎸

Last Nineties Friday it was just me & @thebigghigg so no winner! But any week others post we will pick a random post using the tag #NinetiesFriday & payout a few Basic Income Units each!
I’m hoping this builds into something similar to ThreeTuneTuesday where we have many people involved! But I gotta start with myself so here we go! Similar to TTT, I will give a basic Income Unit to a post every week. If it’s just me and one other person to start, that's cool but Eventually I hope more will get involved and we can grow it.
Some ideas are music, movies, television, sports, or really anything Nineties related. I assume movie or tv or music topic reviews or talk will be most common, but you could also talk a sports memory or something else. Think the Pop Culture of the times, but it would be great to hear about little known and interesting bands or entertainment items. Don’t forget to use tag #NinetiesFriday
