Frontier

One of Orange County's first punk bands in all their glory. This classic album is full of '80s punk "hits" and features members who later went on to play in both Christian Death and D.I.

The Adolescents need no introduction, they virtually invented the melodic power punk that made Orange County famous when they formed in 1980. Frontier Records, home of the Adolescents' legendary debut, aka The Blue Album, is proud to release all of their influential demos from their earliest rehearsals up until 1986. Fourteen of these tracks are previously unreleased, including one studio recording-"Richard Hung Himself"-originally recorded for the Welcome to Reality EP.

Now available on a 10" EP with the three tracks from the 7" EP plus the addition of "Richard Hung Himself," originally recorded for the EP, but never mixed down until The Complete Demos album was compiled. The picture sleeve looks the same, except that it's a 10" jacket rather than a fold-over sleeve.

One of the first(along with Agression and Ill Repute) punk/hardcore bands to define the phrase "skate-punk". Aggressive and speedy, but never sinking into an overly fast sonic blur. Contains the classic rant "Institutionalized."
