Agent Orange is a surf punk band from Orange County. Formed in 1979, the group combined the hardcore punk rock of fellow California groups like X, Black Flag, and the Dead Kennedys with the surf rock of acts like Dick Dale and the Ventures. An important influence on the skate-punk sound, Agent Orange released five LPs (including 1981's legendary Living In Darkness album) from 1981 to 1996.
The group, currently a power trio consisting of Mike Palm on guitar and vocals, Dave Klein on bass, and Perry Giordano on drums, is currently on tour and remains a popular live act among audiences ranging from teenage punks to baby boomer surf-rock fanatics.
