About this item

Adolescents’ self-titled debut album captured the raw pulse of Southern California’s teenage rebellion at a time when hardcore was beginning to take shape yet still holding onto the infectious urgency of punk’s first wave.

This reissue offers longtime listeners and new fans alike a chance to revisit—or discover—an album that helped define the West Coast punk sound. From its striking blue cover to its mix of melody, defiance, and urgency, “Adolescents” remains a vital listen. It includes a repro of the original insert and poster.
