Agent Orange

Anyone who was into skateboarding in the 1980s remembers the unintentionally funny Skatevisions video for Vision and Sims skateboards. Agent Orange was omnipresent back then. They were the soundtrack for this video as well as for a generation of skate punks. The Orange County power-trio gave birth to a sound that blended Surf with Heavy Metal and Power Pop. The guitar lead for their Skate Punk anthem "Blood Stains" was even ripped off by The Offspring on the chart-topping "Come out and Play." Although they haven't released anything since 1996's Virtually Indestructible, Agent Orange continue to play the club circuit.
