The Vandals December 5, 2009

Playing since the mid-'80s, Orange County punk veterans the Vandals injected terminally juvenile humor and catchy punk-pop into their sound, paving the way for bands like the Offspring, blink-182, and Less Than Jake. It wasn't until the '90s that the group found acclaim, starting with 1991s 'Fear of a Punk Planet,' and continuing with their recent effort, 'Hollywood Potato Chip.'
