The Detours

OC Punk pioneers, The Detours, from Fullerton CA, formed in July of 1977 by Gordon Cox, Rikk Agnew, Jeff Beans. In the late 70's this Fullerton punk rock crucible created the now familiar OC sound and anthems eventually covered years later on early albums by the Adolescents, and eventually D.I. Later bands covering Detours songs include Offspring, Zebrahead, Gatorface. Members of The Detours have gone on to write for, or play in Social Distortion, Adolescents, TSOL, Christian Death, DI, 45 Grave, White Zombie, Wrong Beach, and many more. Previous members of the band include Drummers Casey Royer, Paul Kostabi, Craig Briscoe,Shawn Coe, and Guitarists Mike Koerber,Dan Colburn, Steve "Gee" Guevara, Craig "chicken head" Jewett. The Detours have continued to play a few select shows a year- making it a rare treat to witness them live. With re-releases of 1977-1979 recordings and a new album on the way, purists and fans of the genre alike have alot more to look forward to when it comes to these "Pioneers of OC Punk".
