"Hour Of Darkness"

During this year I am going to be listing the valuable musicians we have lost. Here is sadly the first one to be mentioned


Brent Liles(1963-2007)
Bassist for Social Distortion/Agent Orange

Brent is most famous for being the bass player for California punk legends Social Disotrtion. During his tenure in Social D, he appeared on some of the band's most hearlded moments including their debut, Mommy's Little Monster, and the killer documentary film "Another State Of Mind". He stepped into the band right after the Agnew brothers(Rikk and Frank) and Casey Royer split on singer Mike Ness to start my favorite Fulerton hardcore band, The Adolescents. Brent left Social D on New Year's Eve of 1984. Right after Brent's departure Social D's leader Mike Ness went head long into a heroin addiction which would split up the band for two years. He would later step in and take over the bass in Agent Orange with former Social D member and friend Derek O'Brein on drums.

Brent was sadly killed when he was struck by a car while he was riding his motorcycle. He was 43 years old.
