Is it possible for a band to be legendary and still underground? Sure it is-just ask Agent Orange. The SoCal surf punks can lay claim to one of the strangest careers in punkdom. After pretty much defining the sound of surf-punk with their 1981 debut album, they proceeded to record only two more in the next 30 years. Instead, they've toured relentlessly, riding an endless wave with their original style, while other legends from their era have wandered the desert (TSOL, anyone?) Despite their iconic status, they've always been misfits, punkers with chops so good that guitarist Sam Bolle went from playing Dick Dale's "Miserlou" in Agent Orange to actually being recruited into Dale's band.
