Let's continue with a great band and their debut, I think, a three song killer EP: Welcome To Reality by the Adolescents and this sucker was released in October 1981 on Frontier Records. Recorded after guitarist Rikk Agnew left the group, it was their only release recorded with guitarist Steve Roberts. The band broke up in August 1981, and when the EP was released two months later it was not well received (damn ignoramuses). When the Adolescents re-formed five years later, a new lineup re-recorded all three songs for their reunion album Brats In Battalions in 1987. I think it's a successful and important record that paved the way for the Californians to become an essential band. And they are still on the road and never tire of writing more great songs. Definitely on stage a pleasure!
