The Red & the Black, Agent 51's third album, came out on Surfdog Records in 2003, and it's the sound of a Poway, California punk band ditching the costume. The group had built a whole secret-agent mythology around itself; here the matching black suits they wore on stage were retired, the songs about extraterrestrials and UFOs were dropped, and in came riffs that owe as much to AC/DC, Motörhead and Def Leppard as to anything on the punk shelf.
It's louder and more swaggering for the change, and the hometown noticed: the San Diego Music Awards named it best punk album of 2003, and local rock station 91X gave "She's My Heroine" airplay. The band went on a long hiatus not long after, and no album has followed it.
