The Adicts headline Garden Grove Amphitheater with Love Canal, Gvllow and Los Creepers

The Adicts closed out a punk rock night at the Garden Grove Amphitheater in California, topping a bill that also included Los Creepers, The Knuckleheadz, Gvllow and Love Canal. The long-running British band kept the celebratory tone that defines their live shows, with the crowd already fired up by the openers.

Los Creepers opened the evening despite not appearing on the show's promotional flier. Active since 1996, the Mexican punk band based in Southern California delivered a short, heavy hardcore set that went over well. The group has previously opened for Social Distortion, Rancid and The Stray Cats, and also plays psychobilly, though not on this night.

The Knuckleheadz followed. The melodic hardcore outfit is made up of martial artists who run a community outreach and mentorship program for at-risk youth. Frontman Knucklehead Tom is a two-time Muay Thai kickboxing champion and co-owner of a martial arts gym in Whittier, California. During "Till the End," the sing-along was loud and the pit stayed busy. A kid in a Mohawk and denim vest climbed onstage, sang along and stage dove repeatedly.

Gvllow, the Riverside solo artist and multi-instrumentalist who recently assembled a live band, blended goth, punk, rap and hip-hop, with TSOL's Brandon Reza on bass. Love Canal, a hardcore unit running since 1982, opened with "We Got Yer Number" and leaned on their 2017 album "If It Ain't Broke, Break It," also playing "Leave Me Alone," "Time Out," "No One To Blame" and an amped-up cover of Tom Petty's "Need To Know." A new album is rumored to be in the works.

Between sets, a small building behind the stage turned out to house Brian Brannon of JFA performing with his other band, The Carve Liners, playing rock 'n' roll with a surf edge.
