Other early surf punk artists included [[Johnny Thunders]], who opened his debut solo album ''[[So Alone (album)|So Alone]]'' with an instrumental cover of [[The Chantays]]' song, "[[Pipeline (instrumental)|Pipeline]]"; the [[Forgotten Rebels]] from Canada, who released "[[Forgotten Rebels#This Ain't Hollywood (1981)|Surfin' on Heroin]]" in 1981;{{sfn|Henderson|Stacey|2014|p=619}} and [[Agent Orange (band)|Agent Orange]], from Orange County, California, who recorded punk cover versions of surf classics such as "[[Misirlou]]", "Mr. Moto", and "Pipeline", with [[AllMusic]]'s Greg Prato calling the band "influential" and "a step ahead of the rest of the punk/hardcore pack".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/living-in-darkness-mw0000649814|title=Living in Darkness - Agent Orange | Songs, Reviews, Credits|website=AllMusic}}</ref> The genre is related to [[skate punk]], which rose to prominence at the same time in the Orange County beach towns that nurtured the first wave of surf musicians.{{sfn|Perna|2012|p=117}}
