In addition to the six-times platinum "Smash," Wilson also produced albums for T.S.O.L., Bouncing Souls, Iggy Pop, Dead Kennedys, The Aquabats, D.I., The Vandals, and more. Epitaph CEO and Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz had the following to say in a statement, "In '82 when I was just getting started Thom Wilson was a guy all the bands in the scene looked up to. "He was the pro in our midst who loved punk and was willing to take kids under his wing to help them sound great. His work with TSOL and The Adolescents set the bar for everything that came after, including The Offspring's multi-platinum LP Smash, which was the best-selling independent release of all time. Thom was a friend, a teacher, and a great producer. He'll be missed."
