IXNAY ON THE HOMBRE

'''Ixnay on the Hombre''' is the fourth album by the American punk rock band The Offspring, released on February 4, 1997, which also happened to be Noodles' 34th birthday. It was the first album released by the band on Columbia Records, except in Europe where it was the last one by the band on Epitaph Records. This was due to contract disagreements between the band and the co-founder of Epitaph, Brett Gurewitz.
The band was able to release its album on Columbia for the US and other international releases but had to complete the album release in Europe through Epitaph. All subsequent albums were released on Columbia. The album features backing vocals by Davey Havok^[1] (Dexter Holland did backing vocals for AFI's album, Black Sails in the Sunset in return).
Although ''Ixnay'' never achieved the success of its predecessor ''Smash'', it went Platinum soon after its release.
