Soto then approached guitarist Rikk Agnew, but Rikk recommended his younger brother, Frank, instead. The line-up was rounded out by guitarist John O'Donovan and drummer Peter Pan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRikk Agnew quickly changed his mind about playing in the band and O'Donovan and Pan were replaced by Rikk and his friend, Casey Royer, respectively. Rikk Agnew departed shortly after recording the band's first LP. He was initially replaced by Pat Smear and then Royer's roommate Steve Roberts, who appeared on the band's follow-up 7\", \"Welcome To Reality\", also released in 1981, but the band split shortly afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMontana, Rikk Agnew, and Steve Soto reunited in 1986, adding drummer Sandy Hanson and guitarist Alfie Agnew (Rikk and Frank's younger brother). This line-up released \"Brats In Battalions\" in 1987. Alfie left after the recording and was replaced by Dan Colburn. Colburn was later replaced by Paul Casey. Tony left the following year and Rikk and Steve shared vocal duties for 1988's \"Balboa Fun Zone\". Frank Agnew returned to the fold shortly afterwards and the Blue Album line-up even reunited for some live appearances in 1989 (one of which was released as the album \"Return To The Black Hole\" in 1997) but the band split again the same year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Adolescents remained dormant throughout the 1990s but members participated in a number of different bands. In 2001, the Blue Album line-up reunited again to play shows live shows. Casey Royer and Rikk Agnew soon bowed out but the band. By 2006, Steve Soto and Tony Brandenburg were the only remaining members of the band's original line-up. Backed by a revolving cast of guitarists and drummers, the band continued to record and tour, releasing a steady stream of albums throughout the 2010s. In 2017, Casey Royer and Rikk Agnew launched the Radolescents, a group composed of various ex-Adolescents members dedicated to playing music from the Adolescents early days. On Jue 27, 2018, Steve Soto, the only member to play with the band through every phase of their career, passed away unexpectedly at age 54, just prior to the release of their album \"Cropduster\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMembers:\u003cbr\u003eAlfie Agnew, Armando Del Rio, Casey Royer, Dan Colburn, Dan Root, Derek O'Brien, Frank Agnew, Georg Ruthenberg, Ian Flannon Taylor, John O'Donovan, Mike Cambra, Mike Mcknight, Paul Casey, Peter Pan, Rikk Agnew, Sandy Hanson, Steve Roberts, Steve Soto, Tony Brandenburg\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"adolescents-adolescents-lp-1","title":"Adolescents - Adolescents [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003e2002 vinyl LP reissue. The raw energy of The Adolescents announced the birth of the So. Cal. Punk scene. Brash lyrics and furious playing were their hallmarks that led to a cult status among punk afficianados. Their self-titled album from 1981 set the proverbial stage for everyone from The Dead Kennedys to Green Day and Offspring. Scoring a punk hit with \"Amoeba,\" The Adolescents soon outgrew each other and split apart. Yet their attitude and high-intensity playing live on. Original copies of their only LP are nearly impossible to find, but this reissue on vinyl is a treat for punk fans and collectors. It is one of those rare albums you just can't miss.
