Adolescents, “Adolescents” (Frontier, 1982)These guys rank with T-SOL at the ape of first-wave Orange County hardcore, and only the Germs, X and Black Flag surpass them in L.A. punk as a whole. Taut, pummeling beats that roll as much as they rock fuel interlocking guitar harmonics that sparkle like SoCal suburban sprawl at night, an epic backdrop for tales of boxed-in kids going down in a glass-punching tailspin of blind fury as recounted in the archetypically snotty vocals of Tony Cadena. Absolutely heroic work.
