Good morning! One of the greatest punk songs ever written. Rikk Agnew was a genius. He's still around, but hasn't done anything quite this amazing in a long time. Kids of the Black Hole is probably the only 5+ minute punk song that I never skip. It's layered, poignant, evocative, and it rocks LAMF. Adolescents forever! #adolescents #kidsoftheblackhole #rikkagnew #stevesoto #caseyroyer #frankagnew #tonyreflex

These are four monster, heavyweight Records of the early California Punk Rock era to feature lead and or prominent female vocals. The West Coast and U.K. were one of the few exceptions to a male dominated genre and were better off for it.
X's "Los Angeles" LP is as seminal as they come. Some of the best lyrics in rock n roll ever. Period. Probably the only Punk band ever to feature their unique boy/girl gorgeous off key harmonies. Very clever musicianship as well, they were no slouches when it came to playing a tune.
The Nuns were from SF and one of the earliest bands to perform along with fellow SF Rock n Roll purveyors Crime. The Nuns singer, Jennifer Miro was a drop dead beauty and no real rival for looks in New Wave other than Blondie's Debby Harry. They belt out classic raw mid tempo Punk Rock Rippers. Also featured on the original Killed by Death Series Volume 1 if you need more Nuns street cred.
The next two bands are both supergroups made up of distinguished punk rock luminaries. 45 Grave is made up from Hollywood's finest and Legal Weapon is the cream of the crop of the OC Punk Vanguard. Both feature strong gritty vocals and both bands lean heavily on a darker goth punk / death rock sound. 45 Grave is more mature and even has nods to 70's hard rock like Sabbath and Alice Cooper while Legal Weapon is more youthful, and energetic, retaining much of the famous formulas that made OC Punk so infectious.
Rip It Up!!!
