4.0 out of 5 stars Punka'laCalifornia, September 1, 1998

By A Customer

This band has been overlooked since punk became a media-viable youth culture and the copy-cats began cashing in. These guys defined California Surf-Punk, putting interesting little twists on surf classics made popular by the Ventures and Dick Dale. This was years before Pulp Fiction, mind you. In comparrison to a lot of music that came after them (Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Dead Kennedys, Descendents, etc.) and in the present climate of what is presently out there (a bunch of snot-nosed kids who want to sound like Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Dead Kennedys, Descendents, etc.) they come across as poppy and melodic. Trust me, these guys are classic. They're still togther and gig. Buy this album. Go see their show. They've paid more dues than most. END

5.0 out of 5 stars not a band to forget from the 80s punk scean....., November 1, 2001

By	jason pike (salem mass) - See all my reviews

from orange county cali.comes this surf/punk power trio garage band.this album is one of my fav full of the old school punk sound that was some of the best in the 80s.not a hardcore band but some of the true punk .one album i just cant seem to stop listening to it.it is a very addictive album.still seems fresh some 20 years later .if you are in search for some of the forgotten leagends of punk..search this one out.the album just makes me think of the summer and what it would be like to slam dance or pogo on the beach or cruz the beach searching for some punk babes.so oh the highlights on this one are the songs to young to die/bloodstains,the great 2 covers of classic surf tunes buy of course dick dale and the awesome version of pipeline .this re-release on the rhino version of the cd also has some great storys and a interveiw at the end of the disc to let you in on the bands ideas and sound .so for the cheap price you can not go wrong at ALL.just fun fun fun till my dady took my surf board away...

4.0 out of 5 stars Not enough credit., June 7, 2008

By	Zelie Nic (Pittsburgh) - See all my reviews

I don't think Agent Orange got a whole lot of attention back in the 70s. In the interview I have on my disc they go on about how they weren't really accepted into the hardcore scene, and yet were too hardcore for the art-school punker-types. Square pegs... I mean, the bass player's smiling on the cover!

"Bloodstains" is a classic... but my ultimate favourite here is "A Cry For Help in a World Gone Mad." If you're into a bit more melodic hardcore, like The Wipers or Husker Du, check this surfy/hardcorey record out.
