good old-school fukkin punk/surf punk as some like to call them, but i actually dont see that much surf on this album. If you like early 80's So-Cal punk rock then Angent Orange's Living In Darkness is defiantly for you.Īgent orange rocks. You got all the classic songs like Bloodstains, Last Goodbye, Everything Turns Grey, No Such Thing, Cry For Help In A World Gone Mad, Living In Darkness, Breakdown, and El Dorado. I know some like to describe this as surf punk but that's probably because they have some interesting instrumentals on here that have a slight surf sound to them. Arguably this is Agent Orange's best album it has just a raw and gritty sound. This is a good old slab of classic early 80's California punk rock, there's no better way to put it. awesome lyrics, awesome music, awesome voice. This album is way better than This is The Voice. Living in Darkness and Miserlou are the best songs on this album. Since I bought it I have listened to it at least once a day. This album refuses to get old, It doesnt matter what mood i'm in. Good album, I still prefer The Adolescents than Agent Orange, the Adolescents are the real kings of OC, but im not trying to down Agent Orange, they are a good album, but not the greatest to come out of OC.

The album was recorded at Brian Elliott's store front studio in North Hollywood (a few years before Elliott struck gold writing Madonna's 'Papa Don't Preach'). A year later, the group signed with Robbie Fields' Posh Boy Records for their debut LP Living In Darkness, co-produced by Fields and former Simpletones guitarist Jay Lansford. Meanwhile James Levesque had replaced Steve Soto (Adolescents) and the new line up released their own self produced and self released 7' ep in 1980. A year later it was included on the seminal Rodney On The Roq compilation album released by Posh Boy Records. That early line up recorded the classic version of 'Bloodstains' in 1979 as a demo produced by Daniel R.
The group was formed in1l979 in Placentia, a small town close to Fullerton and Anaheim, by frontman Mike Palm on guitar and lead vocals, Steve Soto on bass and Scott Miller on drums. Adventurous southern California punk trio Agent Orange was the first band to mix surf rock with punk.
