The Circle Jerks were arguably the first band to inject hardcore punk with the snotty humour that became one of the movement’s defining traits. Cofounded by singer Keith Morris after his departure from Black Flag in 1979, the iconic outfit fired off a string of speeding anthems like “Live Fast Die Young”, “Wild in the Streets” and “Stars and Stripes”, on which they lob one obnoxious joke after another at parents, society and anything else they deem mainstream and lame. Though The Circle Jerks’ legacy rests upon their initial blast of albums in the ’80s (Group Sex in particular), they’ve reunited frequently through the decades.
