Formed in LA's South Bay in 1979 by ex-Black Flag vocalist Keith Morris and Redd Kross guitarist Greg Hetson, Circle Jerks became punk icons. Known for ferocious performances and major hits, they starred in cult films and led the 80's punk scene. Celebrated 40th anniversary recently.

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.
