Agent Orange

Agent Orange is one of the acts that helped weld surf music to hardcore punk back in the early days of the SoCal scene, mixing reverb-heavy guitar lines with fast, aggressive punk energy. That surf-punk sound went on to shape skate punk as a genre, and the band's influence still shows up in bands that came decades after them.

They've got Colorado shows coming up at the Ogden Theatre, a solid chance to catch a band whose sound helped define an entire corner of punk history.
