Fueled by "rejection, food for opinion, deep brown, girls, fishing and food," the Descendents sprang up during the halcyon years of the Los Angeles tough shot; fusing the subterfuge rage of hardcore with an circumstantially wry, self-deprecating mental capacity and a stiff musical aesthesia which mark them distinctly apart from their West Coast brethren, they bit by fleck emerged as one of the to the highest degree long-suffering and idolised bands of their clip. Formed in 1979, the Descendents' first card consisted of vocalist/guitarist Frank Navetta, vocalist/bassist Tony Lombardo, and drummer Bill Stevenson; ab initio sporting an high-strung power pop legal inspired by the Buzzcocks, the mathematical group issued a debut single, "Ride the Wild," and then right away vanished from sight.
When the Descendents resurfaced in 1981, they were a four-piece fronted by vocalist Milo Auckerman, a beloved figure inside the hardcore biotic community world Health Organization infused the group's identity operator with both unmitigated stripling angst and a healthy dosage of jackass humour. Amid a relentless, caffeine-powered touring schedule, the Descendents base time to criminal record the 1981 EP Fat, a aggregation spotlighting both Auckerman's warmness for fast food ("Weinerschnitzel," "I Like Food") and aversion for maternal counseling ("My Dad Sucks"). A year later, the group issued their debut LP, Milo maize Goes to College; despite the considerable levity of tracks like "Bikeage" and "Suburban Home," the title of respect was no joke -- Auckerman was indeed headed off to study biochemistry, and when Stevenson joined the ranks of Black Flag, the Descendents went on sabbatical.
In 1985, the mathematical group re-formed, with SWA alum Ray Cooper replacing Navetta on guitar; after the press release of the more than pop-flavored album I Don't Want to Grow Up, ex-Anti bassist Doug Carrion sham Lombardo's duties. A sunnier view informed 1986's Enjoy!, as evidenced by the inclusion body of a cover of the Beach Boys' "Wendy," just after 1987's lackluster All, the group rent once again; afterward Stevenson formed a new group, as well dubbed All, the only Descendents products to seem for a number of long time were a pair of live releases, 1987's Liveage! and 1989's Hallraker. Somewhat surprisingly, Auckerman and Stevenson re-formed the Descendents in 1996 with All bassist Karl Alvarez and guitar player Stephen Egerton; in add-on to mounting a go, the group recorded a new record album, Everything Sucks. Following the circuit, Auckerman one time once again returned to his life in the chem lab until 2004 when the guys were back with two new releases, both issued on Fat Wreck -- February brought the EP 'Merican, and the full-length Cool to Be You followed a month afterward.
