Adolescent were a wild surfpunk band from Los Angeles. In a way they were a "California super punkgroup", 'cause the member had ealier played in the bands like Agent Orage, Detours and Social Distortion. Band was formed in 1980 and the line-up was: Tony Cadena (vocals), Steve Soto (bass; ex- Agent Orage), Rikk Agnew (guitar; ex- Slashers, ex- Detours), Casey Royer (drums; ex -Social Distortion, ex- Detours), Frank Agnew (guitar; ex -Social Distortion) and disbanded after recording only one LP.

Band was re-formed in 1986 with Rikk, Steve, Frank and new member Sandy Hansen (drums) and disbanded again in 1989.
