Circle Jerks

14 concerts

Circle Jerks formed in LA’s South Bay in 1979, led by ex-Black Flag vocalist Keith Morris with guitarist Greg Hetson. Known for relentless, ferocious punk, they released six studio albums, including landmark debut Group Sex, and appeared in Decline of Western Civilization and Repo Man.

Gorilla Biscuits

Hardcore icons Gorilla Biscuits, from NYC, shaped the late '80s straight-edge scene with an inclusive approach. Known for "Start Today," they featured Anthony Civarelli ("Civ"), Arthur Smilios, Luke Abbey, and Walter Schreifels. They disbanded in 1992, but their influence remains.

7 Seconds

Formed in the early ’80s in Reno, NV, hardcore punk band 7 Seconds later relocated to Sacramento. Fronted by Kevin Seconds, they released Walk Together, Rock Together on BYO and later albums for Restless, Headhunter, Epic, and Side 1.
