Lomita, California, USA (1978 – present)

Descendents are an influential rock band from Lomita, California, USA. They are known for being one of the early bands in the hardcore scene to sing about more personal topics reflective of their own lives.

They were formed in 1978 by guitarist Frank Navetta, bassist Tony Lombardo and drummer Bill Stevenson. Shortly after forming they enlisted Milo Aukerman and made what started out a surf band into a full fledged punk unit. The Descendents diverged from their punk peers perhaps because of the Beach Boys influences and sang about topics that touched many young punk’s lives like parents, food, girls and being rejected.

This band separated due to Milo actually going to college (UCSD) like the title of their album and other constraints happens to also be famous for the long hiatuses of sometimes a decade in length. The band is now spread out across the country and their future somewhat uncertain. Lead singer Milo Aukerman currently resides in Newark, Delaware. He holds the position of Biochemist for the internationally known DuPont Chemical company, which is based out of Delaware. However, whenever the ends of the Descendents approaches, Milo pops up again and a new record is released.

They have released 7 full length albums:
* Milo Goes to College (1982)
* I Don’t Want to Grow Up (1985)
* Enjoy! (1986)
* All (1987)
* Somery (1991)
* Everything Sucks (1996)
* Cool To Be You (2004)
