Since forming way back in 1977, Descendents have been through several lineup changes, breakups and reformations, with the current quartet consisting of vocalist Milo Aukerman, guitarist Stephen Egerton, bassist Karl Alvarez and drummer Bill Stevenson.

Across Descendents’ nearly 50-year career, the group have helped develop the Los Angeles hardcore punk scene while becoming famous for their outrageous, high-energy live shows.

Descendents have released eight albums and a slew of EPs over the decades and inspired a generation of punk and hardcore bands. Their upcoming Australian and New Zealand tour is a must for fans of the genre who want to witness one of the great hardcore punk acts in action.
