Last Saturday (9/11), I saw Agent Orange play at the Juke Joint in Anaheim with my friend Ruben, and they totally kicked ass. I even met the singer, Mike Palm. Agent Orange are a local Orange County punk band, who represent a time when punk music was awesome.
They were pioneers of "surf punk" as shown by this song, "Pipeline":
Seeing them got me thinking about all the sweet punk bands that came out of the OC in the late 70s, early 80s. Here are some of my faves:
The Dickies:
The Adolescents:
The Middle Class:
