About Circle Jerks

Circle Jerks is a highly influential American punk rock band that emerged in the late 1970s. Known for their aggressive sound and rebellious attitude, the band quickly gained a dedicated following within the punk scene. Comprised of members Keith Morris, Greg Hetson, Roger Rogerson, and Lucky Lehrer, Circle Jerks became synonymous with the hardcore punk movement of the 1980s. Formed in Hermosa Beach, California, Circle Jerks burst onto the punk rock scene with their debut album, "Group Sex," released in 1980. The album's raw energy and fast-paced songs, such as "Deny Everything" and "Red Tape," solidified their place in punk history. Their music was characterized by blistering guitar riffs, rapid drumming, and Morris' distinctive snarling vocals. Throughout their career, Circle Jerks released several critically acclaimed albums, including "Wild in the Streets" (1982) and "Golden Shower of Hits" (1983). These albums showcased the band's ability to blend catchy melodies with aggressive punk rock, resulting in anthems like "Wild in the Streets" and "Coup d'Etat." Their music often tackled social and political issues, reflecting the band's rebellious spirit and their desire to challenge the status quo. Circle Jerks' live performances were legendary, characterized by their high-energy stage presence and intense crowd interaction. Their shows were known for their chaotic atmosphere, with fans moshing and stage diving to the band's relentless punk sound. Circle Jerks' live performances became a defining aspect of their career, solidifying their reputation as one of the most exciting punk bands of their time. In addition to their musical contributions, Circle Jerks played a significant role in shaping the punk rock scene in Southern California. They were part of a tight-knit community of bands that included Black Flag, Bad Religion, and Descendents, among others. Their influence can still be felt in the punk and hardcore genres today. Although Circle Jerks disbanded in 1990, their impact on punk rock continues to resonate. Their music remains a staple in punk playlists, and their legacy as pioneers of the hardcore punk movement is firmly established. Circle Jerks' uncompromising sound and rebellious spirit have left an indelible mark on the punk rock landscape, making them an essential part of any punk music collection.
