Dexter Holland Career

After the success of the Offspring, he suspended his studies to focus on music, but successfully resumed and defended his doctoral thesis in 2017.

Holland’s early musical influences include Aerosmith, the Beatles, the Sex Pistols, the Ramones, KISS, Bob Marley, Queen, and the Rolling Stones. In 1984, he started a punk band, Manic Subsidal, his friend and cross-country teammate Greg K., with Holland on drums. It formed after the duo failed to get into a Social Distortion concert. After Jim Benton was hired as their drummer, Holland switched to vocals and guitars. They never released any albums, but some demos have circulated online.

The Offspring

After some line-up changes, including the addition of Noodles on guitar, Manic Subsidal changed its name to The Offspring in 1985. After recording a demo in 1988, the Offspring signed a deal with a small-time label, Nemesis Records, for whom they recorded their first full-length album, The Offspring, in March 1989. This album would eventually be re-issued on November 21, 1995, by Holland’s own record label, Nitro Records.

In 1991, the Offspring was signed with Epitaph Records (home of Bad Religion, L7, NOFX, Pennywise, and other similar bands). Their first release on the label was Ignition, which was released in 1992. Their last album for that label was 1994’s Smash, which still holds the world record for most sales of an album on an independent label. The band then signed with Columbia Records in 1996 (although Holland claims that Brett Gurewitz, owner of Epitaph and guitarist for Bad Religion, sold the contract to Columbia) for whom they released their next six albums, Ixnay on the Hombre (1997), Americana (1998), Conspiracy of One (2000), Splinter (2003), Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace (2008), and their most recent, Days Go By (2012). Holland is one of the three members (along with Noodles and Greg K.) to appear on all of The Offspring’s albums, and as of Greg K.’s split from the band in November 2018, he is the only remaining original member left.

Holland sometimes plays the piano during live shows. Occasionally the band plays “Gone Away”, with only Holland playing the song on the piano. Holland sings in the tenor range.

Holland is also the co-founder of the record label Nitro Records which he operated from 1994 to 2013.

Science

In an interview in 1995, Holland said when he turns 40, he would rather be a professor at a university than play music.

Holland was a doctoral student at the Laboratory of Viral Oncology and Proteomics Research, Keck School of Medicine, where he was supervised by Professor Suraiya Rasheed. In March 2013, Holland and co-authors published a paper in PLoS One regarding microRNA in HIV genomes, titled “Identification of Human MicroRNA-Like Sequences Embedded within the Protein-Encoding Genes of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus”. The original academic paper describes the use of computational molecular biological (in silico) approaches to identify microRNA-like sequences in HIV. These sequences are suggested to have evolved to self-regulate the survival of the virus in the host by evading its immune responses and thus influence the persistence, replication, and pathogenicity of HIV. Holland was awarded his Ph.D. in molecular biology during the USC Commencement on May 12, 2017.

Gringo Bandito hot sauce

In 2004, Holland launched his own brand of hot sauce, Gringo Bandito. The label depicts Holland with bandoliers, revolvers, a sombrero, and shades, a design that OC Weekly magazine described as parodying the logo for Tapatío hot sauce or Pancho Villa. Holland, who grew up in Southern California where Mexican cuisine is considered a “part of the way of life”, wondered “if (he) could do (a hot sauce) better”.

On the conception of the hot sauce, Holland states that in the early 2000s, while eating Mexican food, he began to read the label of a bottle of Tapatío; “It just clicked that I had to make one. People who like hot sauce are a certain type of people. They’re passionate. They’ll have a bottle with them wherever they go. I’m one of those people. And when I’m into something, I really get into it. It’s like my music—I liked records, so I learned how to play the guitar. After that? A band.”

It has sold over a million bottles and is available in over 500 restaurants and 7,000 stores, including being a top-ranked hot sauce on Amazon.

The headquarters for Gringo Bandito is located in a Huntington Beach industrial park, next to Offspring’s recording studio.

Philanthropy

In 1997, Holland and former Dead Kennedys singer Jello Biafra teamed up to form the F.S.U. Foundation, which raised funds through charity concerts. The foundation organized benefit shows to raise money for various charities including AIDS Project Los Angeles, Poor People’s United Fund, Trees Foundation, and Amnesty International.

Holland participated in the 2006 and 2008 Los Angeles Marathon; his charity of choice was the Innocence Project, a non-profit legal clinic that handles legal cases where post-conviction DNA testing of evidence can yield conclusive proof of innocence.
