Originally formed in the late 1970s in Manhattan Beach, CA, Descendents are a storied band whose unique brand of punk rock has swerved into lanes of power pop, surf punk and hardcore over the years. Descendents debuted with the album Milo Goes to College in 1982, a melodic work that references vocalist Milo Aukerman’s departure to study biology at the University of California, San Diego. Since then, the band has released eight studio albums, three live albums, three compilations and four EPs. Descendents are known for their constant evolution, often reappearing after long hiatuses with new material and a redefined sound, with their most recent album, 9th and Walnut, reconstructing material from the band’s earliest days. Opening the show are Washington, D.C.-based punk band Teen Mortgage and Tuscon, AZ-based pop-punk artist MattstaGraham.
