In 1978 The Descendents formed under their common credo of fishing, girls and velocity. Existing briefly as a power trio, the LA-based group released the 7″ single, ‘Ride The Wild’, before recruiting a certain crop-haired honors class geek cum heartthrob on vocals. They released the Fat EP in 1981, the only record in The Descendents’ expansive catalog that does not contain a single love song. The quintessential Descendents album, ‘Milo Goes To College’, hit local record stores in 1982. Its fusion of catchy melodies with raw, spastic energy caused the Los Angeles Times to write, “perfect for the little guy who was ever called a nerd and never got the girl. The Chain Saw pop combined with earthy humor conveys what is often an inarticulate rage.”
Each new Descendents record pushed further into the outer envelope of ALLness: faster, stronger, better. The guitar/bass tandem of Stephen Egerton and Karl Alvarez had what music teachers and Hit Parade magazine refer to as “killer chops”; that is to say, they wailed. In 1987, the band released its magnum opus ‘ALL’ album, including the “ALL-o-Gistics”, a set of commandments useful in achieving ALL. Rigorous touring ensued once more. Two raging live albums were recorded, Liveage and Hallraker. The Descendents became legendary on the underground all-ages circuit.
A local opening act will be announced soon.
