The discography of The Vandals, a Huntington Beach, California-based punk rock band formed in 1980, consists of ten studio albums, one EP, two live albums, two compilation albums, one remix album, four reissued albums, three videos, four singles, and seven music videos. The Vandals formed in 1980 with an initial lineup of singer Steven Ronald "Stevo" Jensen, guitarist Jan Nils Ackermann, bassist Steve "Human" Pfauter, and drummer Joe Escalante. Their debut EP ''Peace thru Vandalism'' was released in 1982 on Epitaph Records. Pfauter left the band in 1984 and Brent Turner played on their debut album ''When in Rome Do as the Vandals'', released on National Trust Records in 1985. By the time of their second album ''Slippery When Ill'' (1989) on Restless Records Robbi Allen was playing bass and Jensen had been replaced by Dave Quackenbush. The album was country and western-influenced in a style the band called "cowpunk". More lineup changes ensued leaving Esclante and Quackenbush as the only remaining members, with Escalante now on bass guitar. A legal conflict ensued between Escalante and several of the ex-members, partially concerning Time Bomb Recordings' release of the compilation album ''Peace thru Vandalism / When in Rome Do as the Vandals''. Escalante emerged with legal rights to The Vandals name and catalog. A new incarnation of the Vandals coalesced with the addition of guitarist Warren Fitzgerald and drummer Josh Freese. This lineup would remain consistent for the rest of the band's career, with occasional substitutes filling in for Freese. In 1990 they released ''Fear of a Punk Planet'' through Triple X Records and filmed their first music video, for the song "Pizza Tran". In 1994 they released the live album and video ''Sweatin' to the Oldies''.〔http://www.allmusic.com/album/sweatin-to-the-oldies-the-vandals-live-mw0000110611/releases〕 In 1995 the band signed to Nitro Records, who would put out four of their next five albums. ''Live Fast, Diarrhea'' was released in 1995, followed by The Quickening in 1996. Also in 1996 Escalante and Fitzgerald founded Kung Fu Records, releasing a Vandals split single with Assorted Jelly Beans and the Christmas album ''Oi to the World!'', and re-releasing ''Sweatin' to the Oldies'' in 1997. Nitro released ''Hitler Bad, Vandals Good'' in 1998, and Kung Fu released most of ''Slippery When Ill'' in 1999 as ''The Vandals Play Really Bad Original Country Tunes''. 2000 saw a trio of releases, with Kung Fu putting out an anniversary edition of ''Fear of a Punk Planet'' and re-releasing ''Oi to the World!'' while Nitro released the new album ''Look What I Almost Stepped In...'' With their Nitro contract fulfilled The Vandals moved to Kung Fu, releasing ''Internet Dating Superstuds'' in 2002 and the live album and DVD ''Live at the House of Blues'' in 2003. The ''Shingo Japanese Remix Album'' was released in 2005, made up of remixes of Vandals songs by Japanese DJ Shingo Asari.
