Get More Music, Fashion, and Art... go "Like" GRAF on Facebook now: www.Facebook.com AGENT 51 came together in early 1996 with three high school classmates and a bassist they imported from another popular group. Though its members grew up listening to NOFX, Rancid, and Green Day, AGENT 51 strove to distinguish themselves from their punk peers by looking to a time when groups like Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, and Thin Lizzy lit up the crowds with killer riffs and unrestrained energy. Incorporating this era into their music, AGENT 51 developed a style that gave their songs a fresh, inspired jolt that would soon crash the retail racks. San Diego indie Alphabet Records released the group's debut, Red Alert, in late 1996. AGENT 51 decided to record and self-release their follow-up, Just Keep Running, in 1999, though the album was picked up and re-released the following year by Green Day's label Adeline Records. Buzz quickly shook the underground as AGENT 51 started sharing stages with Green Day, Lagwagon, Mighty Mighty BossTones, Misfits, Ataris, Less Than Jake, Sugarcult, Mest, Guttermouth, and the Swingin' Utters, among others. The group even played with Green Day at Berkeley's legendary Gillman Street, which marked Green Day's first Gillman return in nine years.
