Formed in LA in 1979 by former Black Flag vocalist Keith Morris and guitarist Greg Hetson, Circle Jerks became a leading force in hardcore punk.

Formed in Detroit in 1981, hardcore punk band Negative Approach featured vocalist John Brannon, drummer OP Moore, and guitarists Rob and Graham McCulloch. Known for their extreme, aggressive sound, they released their self-titled EP in 1982 and the album Tied Down in 1983 before disbanding in 1985.
