Agent Orange is a legendary punk rock band that emerged from the vibrant Southern California music scene in the late 1970s. Known for their energetic live performances and catchy, anthemic songs, they quickly gained a devoted following. With their unique blend of punk, surf rock, and hard-hitting lyrics, Agent Orange has left an indelible mark on the genre. Their influential debut album "Living in Darkness" continues to be hailed as a classic. Whether you're a die-hard fan or new to their sound, Agent Orange's music is sure to ignite your passion for punk.
Formed by guitarist/vocalist Mike Palm and bassist James Levesque in 1979, Agent Orange started playing local gigs before gaining recognition beyond their hometown of Fullerton. The addition of drummer Scott Miller completed the lineup and solidified their signature sound. They soon caught the attention of major labels and released several albums throughout the '80s.
Over four decades later, Agent Orange remains active with Mike Palm as the sole original member. Their enduring appeal lies in their ability to captivate audiences with high-energy performances that transport listeners back to the heyday of punk rock. With a discography spanning multiple eras and generations of fans, Agent Orange continues to inspire new waves of musicians while staying true to their roots.

Adventurous southern California punk trio Agent Orange was the first band to mix surf rock with punk. The group was formed in1979 in Placentia, a small town close to Fullerton and Anaheim, by front man Mike Palm on guitar and lead vocals, Steve Soto on bass, and Scott Miller on drums. That early line-up recorded the classic version of "Bloodstains" in 1979 as a demo produced by Daniel R. van Patten (of the group Berlin). A year later it was included on the seminal Rodney On The Roq compilation album released by Posh Boy Records. 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, 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. The album was recorded at Brian Elliot's store front studio in North Hollywood (a few years before Elliot struck gold writing Madonna's "Papa Don't Preach"). A milestone in California punk rock history.
