 Living in Darkness is, therefore, the black sheep of 1981.

 They combined certain sixties sounds with the very dark mood of the Reagan era—this pre-apocalyptic tension is their greatness.

Agent Orange’s 1981 album Living In Darkness stands out as a unique punk record blending hardcore and surf rock influences. Despite limited commercial push and little touring, the band crafted a distinct sound marked by dark, pre-apocalyptic moods. Their blend of sixties surf style with punk’s raw energy made them a black sheep in the hardcore scene but a lasting influence. The album, featuring the anthem 'Bloodstains,' deserves recognition alongside seminal punk releases of the era. Dive into the unique punk sound of Agent Orange’s Living In Darkness and experience a forgotten classic from the heart of California’s scene.
