Punk / Hardcore

Descendents were formed in 1977 as an acoustic duo by Frank Navetta and David Nolte. Bill Stevenson soon joined as their drummer. Their debut release was the 7" single "Ride the Wild / It's a Hectic World," showcasing melodic garage pop. In 1980, Milo Aukerman joined as the lead singer, transforming Descendents into a punk band and becoming influential in the hardcore scene of Los Angeles. Their debut album, "Milo Goes to College," introduced melody and sensitivity uncommon in punk at that time.

After Milo went to college, Ray Cooper took over vocals temporarily while Bill Stevenson drummed for Black Flag. Descendents' gigs became sporadic until they returned with the album "I Don't Want to Grow Up" in 1985. The lineup changed multiple times over the years, but Descendents continued releasing albums like "Enjoy!" and "All." Their philosophy of ALL is about endless self-improvement and pursuing happiness through greatness.

In 1996, Descendents reformed with Milo Aukerman for the album "Everything Sucks." They have since released new material sporadically while performing live shows. In 2021, previously unreleased songs from their early days were recorded and released as "9th & Walnut." Despite facing challenges such as the passing of Frank Navetta in 2008, Descendents remain an influential punk band

On their first album in 12 years, vocalist Milo Aukerman, drummer Bill Stevenson, guitarist Stephen Egerton, and bassist Karl Alvarez channel an energy just as raw and jittery as in their earliest days - a time when the band was driven by the equally mighty forces of "rejection, food, coffee, girls, fishing, and food." Born from the all-for-one spirit that's forever fueled the band, 'Hypercaffium Spazzinate' returns to the frenetically catchy sound that launched a generation of pop-minded punk acts and continues to widen the Descendents' following around the world. The band's first Epitaph Records release since 1996's 'Everything Sucks', 'Hypercaffium Spazzinate' began taking shape soon after the Descendents surfaced from extended hiatus for a series of gigs in 2010. With Milo now living in Delaware, Karl and Bill in Colorado, and Stephen in Oklahoma, the album came to life over a three-year period in which the band sent tracks back and forth and occasionally met up in Karl and Bill's adopted hometown of Fort Collins. With 'Hypercaffium Spazzinate' featuring the classic Milo cartoon as its cover art - this time, he's got his head affixed to a lab flask in an attempt to "synthesize some bonus caffeine," as Milo explains—the album finds the band both honouring their past and living fully in the moment.
