Before The Vandals were SoCal pop-punk royalty, they were something rawer and weirder — and this 1984 debut is the proof. Recorded when the band was barely out of their teens in Huntington Beach, When In Rome Do As The Vandals captures the original lineup in full velocity: abrasive, funny, politically sharp, and completely uninterested in being polished. The album helped define what Southern California hardcore punk would become, sitting right at the hinge between classic SoCal hardcore and the melodic punk that would eventually take over the mainstream.
