After recording another demo in 1988, the Offspring signed a record deal with small-time label Nemesis Records . In the summer of 1989, the band teamed up with producer Thom Wilson (who had worked with the Adolescents , the Dead Kennedys , Social Distortion , the Vandals , and Youth Brigade ) to record their first album, titled The Offspring . Nemesis released the album in October 1989, in limited numbers and only on the 12-inch vinyl and cassette formats; the album was not released on CD until 1995. A six-week national tour followed. Noodles was stabbed during a performance at a Hollywood anti-nuclear benefit.
