Pretty fucking interesting story. But I have to clarify. First California punk band to sign to a major label. The Clash and the Sex Pistols in the UK were signed to CBS and EMI respectively, and the Ramones to Sire in New York before then.
Did someone say the clash

The definition of punk is so convoluted and changes from person to person. The first bands that were described as punk just thought they were playing stripped-down and high energy rock n' roll. Then you get the people that think punk is a style of fashion, or certain values and ethics (like not signing to major record labels). Then past that you get the folks that think punk describes a time and a place, like England '77. It's enough to get somebody quite confused. I've come to not worry about whether the bands I'm listening to are truly "punk" or not and just try and enjoy the music. Whether or not they were signed to a major label doesn't really change if their music is good or not.

Same band. Record label wanted them to change their name. Guess it offended some people or something.

Probably their best tune. Just gotta take it from there. They got much more to offer. Though I will admit they had some shitty tunes. And them being so influential to so many of my favourite bands might give me a bit of bias.
