Agent Orange
Agent Orange’s raucous tunes still sound as fresh as they did when the trio guitarist/frontperson Mike Palm formed the group back in 1979. The California group’s popularity spiked early with their hit track, “Bloodstains,” a song that is remarkable in its forward bluntness. It’s got aggressive guitars, aggravated lyrics and Palm shouting how the material conditions of the world are driving him and the world insane. You can also hear just enough twang on the titular track of their album, Living in Darkness, to see why the group is considered to be country punk. With Fea, No Hoax.
