The Adolescents (USA)

The Adolescents are an American punk band formed in 1980 in Fullerton, California. It is a punk supergroup, made up of early members of Agent Orange and Social Distortion. They are often credited as one of the leading bands of the 1980s hardcore punk scene.

For more than 30 years after its inception, the Adolescents have had many member changes. The band broke up and reformed twice, sometimes with different guitarists, bass players and/or drummers. Their first break up was sometime after the release of their 1981 heavily influential self-titled debut album, when some members of the band were involved in their own projects, including Agent Orange and D.I.. However, the Adolescents reunited in 1986 and released two more albums (Brats in Battalions in 1987 and Balboa Fun*Zone in 1988) before splitting up again in 1989.

The band once again reunited in 2001 for a 20th anniversary tour and has continued performing ever since. They released OC Confidential, their first studio album in 17 years in 2005, followed by 2011's album “The Fastest Kid Alive”.

The band has influenced many notable punk, alternative and hard rock/metal groups, including Bad Religion, NOFX, Face to Face, Good Riddance, The Offspring, Pennywise, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Fu Manchu, Mudhoney, Blink-182 and The Vandals.

The Adolescents created fast, energetic music that was at the forefront of the Orange County punk music scene.
