Punk isn't really counter-cultural anymore. Like rock n' roll and long hair on men before it, punk has become part of the cultural mainstream, and the best thing coming out of mainstream punk these days is… well, okay, let's just leave it at that. Tell you what; let's go back there a moment: Give yourself a throwback to the days when bleach blond spikes were cool, and white guys loved to say "fly." The Offspring were that group that made you dance, and laugh at the same time. They came across as jokers, and a lesser cool version of Blink 182. Their success in the mainstream was short lived, but that doesn’t mean you have to stop asking them to give it to you. The Offspring bring their punk-laden talents to Molson Amphitheatre, tonight (February 25th for an evening of crate mining, dry-humping, and fake-IDs.

The Offspring play tonight at Molson Amphitheatre (Thursday, July 2) .
