THE ADOLESCENTS
The Adolescents are an American punk rock band formed in Fullerton, California in 1980 by Steve Soto and Tony Cadena. From its earliest days, the band has functioned as a kind of Southern California punk supergroup, being formed originally from early members of Agent Orange and Social Distortion.

Punk stalwart Jeff Dahl – whose resumé includes a stint in the Angry Samoans and recordings with Cheetah Chrome of the Dead Boys and Rikk Agnew of the Adolescents – had worked with both the Peeps and Tempe Tramps in the past. Jeff Dahl was instrumental in getting Les Hell on Heels signed by Greg Shaw of Bomp! Records – the CD was released shortly before Shaw’s death in 2004 – and Dahl also wrote one of the songs on the CD, “Ain’t So Cool”. Greg Shaw was quoted as saying of Les Hell on Heels: “I feel the same way that Phil Spector must have felt when he first saw the Ronettes.”
