Hermosa Beach, California, United States (1979 – 1987, 1994 – present)

Circle Jerks is a hardcore punk band formed circa 1979 in Hermosa Beach, California, United States. It was formed by Black Flag’s original singer, Keith Morris, and future Bad Religion guitarist Greg Hetson. They were among the preeminent punk bands of the L.A. scene in the early 1980s.

The band broke up and reformed twice, sometimes with different bass players and/or drummers. They disbanded for the first time after the release of their fifth album, 1987’s VI, as Hetson decided to continue touring and releasing a number of albums with Bad Religion. However, they reunited around 1994 and recorded a reunion album, Oddities, Abnormalities and Curiosities, in the following year, then a tour followed. After that, the Circle Jerks once again parted ways as Hetson was still involved in Bad Religion, but reunited again around 2001. The band has continued touring ever since.

To date, the Circle Jerks have released six full-length studio albums, one compilation, live album and live DVD. Their last studio release, Oddities, Abnormalities and Curiosities, came out in 1995 and is the only reunion album the band has released to date. However, they are reportedly gearing up to release a new studio album, but it is unknown when it will occur.

It depends on how committed you really are. people act punk to be trendy all the time and they might just move on to another 'fad'. others just have responsibilities they need to take care of when they get older

>>See if you still think that "once you're a punk you're always a punk" rubbish when you're 20. I'm 27 and you can see, that I love concerts and gigs and punk-rock. Age is bullshit. Sorry 4 my pure english, I'm from russia, but I think you understood what I wanted to say.

if you've never heard that once you're a punk you're always a punk. ya, i'm 16, but that doesn't change the fact that "i know" adults who've stayed punk their whole lives, so i mean, you wouldn't understand unless you were a punk, that's just the way it fucking works. and dude, if you haven't noticed, most punk bands that start when they're teens stay punk for the rest of their lives. so ya, punk starts when you're young, but don't any form of people who are into music start when they're in highschool? so i mean, it's not just punk it's "every kind" of music starts usually when you're younger.

great music, and the person who just put,"punk is for highschool kids", you're way off bitch. i know adults who got into punk in highschool and still stick to it, it's the wannabe punks who don't stick with it.

I like Wild In The Streets better than Group Sex...but honestly i think they sound like two different bands. Group Sex is still great for what it was: early LA hardcore.
