All you gotta do is listen to the chorus of "Bloodstains" to know whats up; "I lost my sense I lost control I lost my mind" Agent Orange cried, echoing the discontent that many kids of the 80's felt. It was a time of change, of stupid music scenes, judgemental folks, bright lights, and cheap wine. Agent Orange is a perfect snapshot of this chaos!
Playing a unique brand of surf/punk/skate/metal music, Agent Orange bursted onto the punk scene in 1981 with this underrated gem. Noone paid attention. The fact was Agent Orange consisted of three kids, not really caring for there clothing or who they played for, playing this strange music, covering surf classics like "Miserlou" in punk fashion and just straight up not giving a shit. It was... unique. You gotta realize this was at the dawn of the 80's, the segregation of scenes was commencing and punk fans were becoming more judgemental by the day! Gone was the old pipe dream of art school drop outs and washed out stoners all coexisting in peace; in was the brigade of identical mohawked, boot laced, studded punk kids, shoving there ideals and music tastes on anyone who didn't fit the description. Agent Orange didn't fit the description, they just happened to be amazing.
I love this album and I hope you do to! "Bloodstains" and "El Dorado" remain classics in my ear.
