Circle Jerks were an American hardcore punk band, formed in 1979 in Los Angeles, California. The group was founded by former Black Flag vocalist Keith Morris and became one of the most influential and iconic bands in the punk community. This release is a 40-year vinyl reissue of Circle Jerks' iconic debut full length "Group Sex," which is considered a landmark of the punk and hardcore genre. This deluxe vinyl release includes a deluxe 20-page booklet featuring rare photos, flyers, testimonials and behind the scene stories from iconic figures such as Mike Ness (Social Distortion), Tony Hawk (Skateboarder), Shepard Fairey (Artist Obey), and Brett Gurewitz (Bad Religion / Epitaph Records). Circle Jerks were planning to reunite in 2020 for several shows to both celebrating the 40th anniversary of their debut album "Group Sex," and to support this release, while those shows weren't able to happen because of the pandemic, the band will still be around to promote the release actively.
