DESCENDENTS invented pop punk. Overstatement? Perhaps, but spend ten minutes scanning FM or the idiot box and you're bound to witness a ditty or video that tips its hat to a musical genre that was refined to a high art -- if not created outright -- by the 'Dents. Formed in 1978 against the fertile musical backdrop of Los Angeles' South Bay scene. Not long after, the boys recruited one Milo Aukerman for vocal duties. Check out the legendary DESCENDENTS LIVE! Special guests Nude Oil and The Jerkwadz! More info here!
