Hardcore Punk Canon *by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2015* If you're going to talk about American hardcore or American punk, you have to talk about Los Angeles. That's where hardcore was born by bands like Black Flag, the Germs, the Descendents, Social Distortion, Bad Religion, and the many bands that followed. It's even worth mentioning D.C. and New York as the Ramones relocated to California in the late '70s and Minor Threat who toured L.A. in the early '80s (Ian MacKaye and Henry Rollins are best friends, after all). The Adolescents followed the initial wave of hardcore punk bands, forming in 1980 with former members of Agent Orange and Social D coming together to form one of the first punk "supergroups" in history.The Adolescents's sound is very early '80s L.A. hardcore, with a lot of parallels to Agent Orange and early Social D (of course) as well as Bad Religion and the Germs. They took a lot of their inspiration and influences from the godfathers of their genre, especially in the vocal stylings of singer Tony Cadena. His lyrical delivery is very, very reminiscent of the late Darby Crash, who sadly passed away from an intentional heroin overdose a mere six months prior to the release of this album. In short, the Adolescents pay homage to their forebearers and helped to usher in the era of '80s hardcore punk that has yet to see its demise.To say that this album is a landmark in '80s L.A. subculture is an understatement, and it holds its own when held up against the many albums that followed its release. However, it does sound very much like an '80s L.A. hardcore punk album (which it is) and doesn't sound, in retrospect, tremendously unique when held in comparision to other albums released around the same time. The band stick very close to the standard under-two-minute mark for the majority of their songs, breaking tradition for the outstanding "Kids of the Black Hole" and "Amoeba," and it's the four-song assault of "Kids of the Black Hole" through "Word Attack" that really make this album stand out. "Democracy" was most assuredly an anthem back in '81, and "No Friends" touches rather well on the subjects of alienation and isolation that was a constant theme in Black Flag's music. Another personal favorite is "L.A. Girl" for its statement on society and L.A. culture.While perhaps not my favorite L.A. hardcore punk album of all time, this is definitely a landmark recording in its canon. If you're at all into that particular music scene, this album is mandatory listening. Now get to it! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classic Hardcore *by J***Z on Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2019* A fantastic classic album. I'd really reccomend it for folks just getting into hardcore. It's bratty, it's angsty, but most importantly it's a great hardcore album. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ awesome music *by K***Z on Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2020* Great album --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/18667943-adolescents](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/18667943-adolescents) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-10-20*
