Agent Orange

An American punk band founded in 1979 in California's Orange County. Agent Orange made a huge contribution to the development of the punk scene, although the band members stated on the album Living in Darkness: "We don't feel like part of that scene at all." Agent Orange were among the pioneers in mixing punk rock with surf, as well as the skate punk scene. The band is still playing. The first success for Agent Orange came after the release of their song "Bloodstains," released on the band's first 7" EP. An early demo version of this song was presented on the Pasadena radio station "KROQ" by DJ Rodney Bingenheimer, and the song soon became one of the biggest hits on his show.
