Yea! they have Punk influences , the oc punk scene in the 80s influnces them ... look the name the adolescents and look at the name offspring kind of the same
agreed agent orange can't be topped the darkness version in particular.
The offspring did good with this though. They didn't try to make it pop punk and I gotta hand that to them because they usually have a more pop oriented sound.
@DJxLoomis The offspring's first four? Yeah. I had smash and the self titled, it's still pop punk but they always did it better than most of those bands.
@whitetrashoutlaw It sounds more like punk tinged with heavy metal to me except for about half of Smash (some of it was pretty poppy) but otherwise, straight-ahead punk.
@DJxLoomis, who do you think i'm talking to? are you a mental midget suffering from cognitive stupidity? because offspring sounds nothing like metal. they sound like old school punk rock with some late 70s power-pop elements. The sound itself has nothing to do with black sabbath esque metal. It's closer to hard rock, punk, power pop and surf(dick dale, ventures, surfaris,) music.
@TheNewMusicNetwork You do know Offspring didn't show up until '85, well after both hardcore and metal were well into the scene, their early records have very hard rock or metal tinge to them, just listen to "Jennifer Lost the War" or "Beheaded." True, they have a variety of other influences, but their main sound early in their career was this. Most music critics actually seem to agree with me, and I'm not talking pretentious newspaper snobs, actual people who study music.
@DJxLoomis okay at this point I think you're just trolling or very slow in your head.
Yes of course I know they came later on but the ground work was already layed for them. They took a lot of what TSOL did as jack grisham mentioned before.
It's okay that you didn't know who the bands were I listed, maybe you can learn something.
@TheNewMusicNetwork I actually did know the majority of the bands you listed (unfortunately I don't know who the Deadbeats are) but Offspring weren't playing hardcore punk, they were playing melodic punk with a hard rock/metal edge. Of course T.S.O.L. and especially Black Flag laid the groundwork for them, but their sound was very different and much closer to the metal influence in the end.
I have never heard this. I love the 1979 Agent Orange demo that became an early L.A. Punk hit. No versions ever even got close to that one. This version really gets close to the original in tempo, captures that SURF sound... has that same "kid's trying to swing" thing that made the original so hypnotizing.
@3rdfromthetop essentially they haven't really changed, they just got a little older

because those bands were doing crunchy guitar(hardcore) and speed, before your precious metal.
