American hardcore punk band from New Jersey; fast, thrashcore-tinged sound and sarcastic lyrics; early recordings tied to the ROIR scene; debut LP in 1984.

One review hails Adrenalin O.D.’s Humungousfungusamongus as a speed-fueled, sarcastic blast of hardcore with thrashcore edges. The band is noted as a New Jersey outfit from the early 1980s, inspired and influential in the underground. The album’s tracks are short, catchy, and varied, touching rock ’n’ roll, metal, Oi!, and ska. The reissue reportedly adds covers of Kiss and Dead Boys. Strong recommendation for hardcore fans.
