Agent Orange is an American punk rock band formed in Placentia, California, in 1979.[2] The band was one of the first to mix punk rock with surf music.[3]
A power trio, the band was founded by frontman and guitarist Mike Palm who has remained the band's sole constant member. The lineup of Palm, James Levesque (bass) and Scott Miller (drums) recorded Agent Orange's first two albums, Living in Darkness (1981) and This is the Voice (1986). The band's third album, Virtually Indestructible (1996) was released with Sam Bolle on bass and Charlie Quintana on drums. The band has not released any new albums since.
