Adolescents are an American punk rock band formed in Fullerton, California in 1980. Part of the hardcore punk movement in southern California in the early 1980s, they were one of the main punk acts to emerge from Orange County, along with their peers in Agent Orange and Social Distortion.
Despite the success of the first album, the planned release of the EP and the forthcoming tour, Adolescents broke up in August 1981.
The Blue Album lineup of Adolescents (Brandenburg, now using the stage name Tony Montana, Soto, Royer, Rikk and Frank Agnew) played a reunion show in April 1986 at Fender's Ballroom in Long Beach, California which led to the band re-forming.
