Additional Info:
Agent Orange is the iconic Southern California punk band that revolutionized the West Coast sound by fusing the raw energy of punk with the melodic surf rock guitar riffs. Formed in 1979 by lead vocalist and guitarist Mike Palm, the band quickly distinguished itself from its peers, creating the legendary "surf punk" sound that came to define the Orange County punk scene. Their early work, especially the explosive track "Bloodstains," became an anthem for rebellious youth and helped push them into the punk spotlight.
Agent Orange's debut album, Living in Darkness (1981), remains a cornerstone of punk rock, blending catchy surf-inspired melodies with gritty, hard-hitting punk themes. Tracks like "No Such Thing" and their cover of the surf classic "Miserlou" demonstrated the band’s versatility and deep-rooted love for surf music, while never straying from the blistering pace of punk.
Over the years, Agent Orange’s influence expanded beyond music and into skate and surf culture. Their high-energy tracks became the soundtrack for countless skate videos, action sports films, and even video games. Their sound not only resonated within the punk community but also inspired future bands like Green Day, The Offspring, and Bad Religion.
Despite numerous lineup changes, Agent Orange has stayed true to their roots. Mike Palm remains the driving force behind the band, continuing to bring their "supercharged" live performances to fans across the globe. Whether playing at legendary venues or international festivals, Agent Orange continues to demonstrate that their blend of punk and surf rock is timeless
