Over the last year, a number of iconic musicians have decided to sell their song catalogs for large sums. While for years many saw that as selling out, now more and more artists are making the move claiming it as a business decision. One of the first to do so was The Offspring, who sold their entire song catalog to Round Hill back in 2016, but 5 years later frontman Dexter Holland says he has no regrets about the decision.
When The Offspring sold their entire Columbia catalog to Round Hill back in 2016 for $35 million, many questioned the move. However, Dexter Holland was recently asked about the move, and the Offspring frontman said, “At the end of the day, we just decided to sell it. I’m glad we did it, and Round Hill was the right partner to go with. And the great thing about being in a band is you can always make new songs.”
According to Billboard, The Offspring have become one of the 90’s longest lasting rock acts thanks to their seven albums, and consistent radio presence. Now, with a new album on the way, the band is hoping to create even more impact. Maybe in a few years they will have another song catalog to sell.
