Agent Orange was originally a surf-punk trio from Fullerton, CA. Formed in the midst of the early-'80s skatepunk fad, their earliest songs, like "Bloodstains," had one foot in hardcore and the other in melodic pop. Sonic Snake Session is a two-CD retrospective that reissues their output for Enigma/Restless Records from the mid- to late '80s, This Is the Voice, Real Live Sound, and When You Least Expect It. By the time of these recordings, Agent Orange had completely embraced a poppier approach to punk that had more in common with the Last than any West Coast hardcore band. "Fire in the Rain" still sounds like it has hit potential! Al Campbell, All Music Guide
