The Descendents are a punk band from Manhattan Beach, California, a suburb of Los Angeles.
Descendents were formed in 1978 by guitarist Frank Navetta, bassist Tony Lombardo and drummer Bill Stevenson. Their first release — the only one with this lineup — was “Ride the Wild”/”It’s a Hectic World”, a double A-side of melodic surf-pop.
In 1980 they enlisted Stevenson’s old schoolfriend Milo Aukerman as a singer, and reappeared as a punk band, becoming a major player in the hardcore scene developing in Los Angeles at the time. Their first release with Aukerman, 1981′s Fat EP, was a furious six-minute barrage of teen angst and goofball humour, featuring such songs as “My Dad Sucks” and the eleven-second “Wienerschnitzel”.
Their debut album the following year, Milo Goes to College, introduced an element of melody and sensitivity that set them apart from most other hardcore bands. They sang about being (and wanting to be) rejected (“I’m Not A Loser”, “I Wanna Be A Bear”, “Parents”), girls (“Hope”, “Myage”, “Marriage”, “Kabuki Girl”), fishing (“Catalina”), and other subjects not normally discussed by their peers. Songwriting was shared among the band members, and Stevenson’s songs in particular were to greatly influence the melodic punk-pop bands of the 1990s.
