They are like a ticking time bomb ready to explode. The Descendants always play in a very hyped up manner. Although their music heavily relies on the power chords played in fast rhythms, they also incorporate really catchy riffs with strong melodic draws. The band has extreme discipline when performing live, always playing in synch, and creating a fast pace, driving rhythm. The Descendents were a monumental band for the California punk scene, helping create the hardcore punk movement. Each song is like a small package crammed with tons of energy and force, and to see the Descendents perform these short, choppy, in your face punk songs live is nothing less than exhilarating. The Descendents’ music is short, but sweet. The Descendents have been cited as hugely influential to a large amount of modern day pop punk and skate punk bands such as Blink 182, Fall Out Boy, Propagandhi, The All-American Rejects, Green Day, The Bouncing Souls, NOFX, The Offspring, and The Ataris and they have made countless lists by publications including Spin, The Rolling Stone and Kerrang! The band is more known for its legacy to punk than its commercial successes. The band went on hiatus until the release of 1996 LP 'Everything Sucks' which was the first time they appeared within the top 200 on the US Billboard charts. They continued to release material up until 1987 and despite their fan base seeming to be ever-increasing, they consistently failed to impact the US charts. It built on the reputation of the predecessor 'Fat' EP which cementing their status as one of the new influencers of the South California punk scene.

Their first full length album was released in 1982 entitled 'Milo Goes To College' and although it made no chart significance at the time, it is now considered one of the most significant albums of the early 1980s southern California hardcore punk movement. They changed the style and lengths of their recordings over the early year from short under a minute hardcore style songs to average 2-3 minute punk rock songs. It would seem the Descendents had experienced a false start, yet in late 1978 Navetta was joined by drummer Bill Stevenson and bassist Tony Lombardo who revitalised the project. However by the end of the year they had failed to attract any more band members, so Nolte instead joined The Last with his brothers. They initially called themselves The Itch, until Navetta came up with the name Descendents. “We completely disavow groups like the Oath Keepers and in no way condone their hateful ideology,” the band wrote in a tweet.In 1977, friends Frank Navetta and David Nolte began writing songs on acoustic guitars with the intention of forming a band. The band, via its Twitter account, swiftly separated itself from the group Van Tatenhove once spoke for. His shirt featured the cartoon character Milo, a mascot for the band inspired by lead singer Milo Aukerman and included on a number of the band’s album covers. He also warned of the “genuine danger” that extremist groups such as the Oath Keepers ― whom he described as a violent “militia” ― pose to America. Van Tatenhove, who claimed he left the group years before the attack, citing in particular members’ antisemitic rhetoric, detailed how he saw the group drifting “further and further right into the alt-right world, into white nationalists and even straight-up racists.” The Descendents, an influential group of rockers known for albums like “Milo Goes to College” and “All,” weighed in on Jason Van Tatenhove sporting their merch during his testimony on the extremist group’s involvement in the Capitol attack.
