This American rock band was formed in Garden Grove, California, in 1984 with original members Peter Parada on the drums, Todd Morse as the bassist, and Kevin “Noodles” Wasserman and Bryan “Dexter” Holland on the guitars. Dexter is also the band’s vocalist.
They have had a career spanning four decades, released ten albums, and underwent several changes in the lineup. They specialize in punk rock, pop-punk, alternative rock, skate punk, and melodic hardcore genres. Together with Green Day, they are recognized for getting people interested in punk rock again in the ’90s.
