Hire: Descendents
Descendents are an American punk rock band formed in 1977 in Manhattan Beach, California, by guitarist Frank Navetta, bassist Tony Lombardo, and drummer Bill Stevenson as a power-pop/surf punk band.
In 1979, they enlisted Stevenson’s school friend, Milo Aukerman, as a singer, and reappeared as a melodic hardcore punk band, becoming a major player in the hardcore scene developing in Los Angeles at the time.

Everything Sucks was recorded in June and July 1996 at The Blasting Room, a studio built and run by Stevenson in Fort Collins, Colorado. The Descendents supported Everything Sucks with a series of tours from September 1996 to August 1997 covering the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Europe, touring with Less Than Jake, Handsome, Electric Frankenstein, Social Distortion, Pennywise, H2O, and others.
In October 2008, founding member Frank Navetta died after “becoming ill over the course of a few days”. In 2010, the Descendents reunited again for a series of gigs. He classified these as “one-off shows”, usually occurring when he is able to take advantage of vacation breaks as a biologist to perform with the Descendents.
The Descendents have been cited as hugely influential to a large number of modern-day punk bands such as Blink-182, NOFX, Green Day, Pennywise, Propagandhi, Rise Against, All-American Rejects, The Offspring, and The Ataris. “Everything about how I sing and play guitar that came from this band is absolutely a product of The Descendents,” said Blink-182 vocalist/guitarist Tom DeLonge in 2011.
In 2020, they released a single to streaming services, entitled “Suffrage” and included two songs, “On You” and “Hindsight 2020”.
On May 4, 2021, the band put out a single, called “Baby Doncha Know”, and announced their eighth album that would be released on July 23, titled 9th & Walnut, named after the intersection in Long Beach, California, where their first rehearsal space was located.
Their discography includes eight studio albums, three live albums, three compilation albums, three EPs, several singles, and four music videos.
