Circle Jerks

From Punkipedia

The Circle Jerks were a skate punk band from Los Angeles, CA. They were founded in 1980 by Keith Morris (formerly of Black Flag) and Greg Hetson. After rounding out the lineup with Roger Rogerson and Lucky Lehrer, they made a place in the LA punk scene alongside bands such as Fear and the Germs.

The Beginning

Keith Morris, who recently left Black Flag for "creative differences", met Greg Hetson, who had recently left Red Kross, and they decided to put together a band. Thus, the Circle Jerks were born. In 1980 they released their debut album, Group Sex, and in 1981 they appeared in The Decline of Western Civilization alongside Fear, Black Flag, X, Alice Bag Band, the Germs, and Catholic Discipline.
