Lead vocalist Keith Morris was an original member of Black Flag, co founding the band with guitarist Greg Ginn and recording the Nervous Breakdown EP with them before suddenly departing the group in December 1979. Morris formed Circle Jerks as the Bedwetters, along with guitarist Greg Hetson, bassist Roger Rogerson and drummer Lucky Lehrer, Lehrer did not like the name the Bedwetters, so Morris looked through a dictionary of slang words and renamed the band the Circle Jerks. The band's first recordings took place in spring 1980, including the original version of Wild in the Streets which appeared on Posh Boy's first Rodney on the ROQ compilation. In July of that year, the band recorded their debut studio album Group Sex, which was released in October 1980 on the Frontier Records label, its 14 songs totaled just 15 minutes, The album featured several songs that Morris had written while in Black Flag. That same year the group was one of several California punk bands to be immortalized in the Penelope Spheeris documentary The Decline of Western Civilization, live versions of five songs from Group Sex appeared on the movie's soundtrack. In late 1980 the group signed with IRS Records subsidiary Faulty Products and recorded their second album Wild in the Streets released in 1982, The title track was a cover version of a song by Garland Jeffrey, Faulty Products ceased operations several months after its release, forcing Circle Jerks to seek their third record deal in as many years. While they regained the copyright to Wild in the Streets, the original stereo master tape was lost, forcing the band to remix it from the multi track tapes when they reissued the album in 1988.
