DESCENDENTS • Milo Goes To College • LP / Tape

Org Music

One of the seminal works of the genre that became known as pop-punk was Milo Goes to College by the Descendents, released in 1982, when members of the band were just finishing high school and writing catchy, sing-along melodies about girls, parents, and food. Despite their overtly youthful lyrics, they played with a ferocious intensity that could rival any band in the then-emerging hardcore scene. This winning formula has carried the band through decades and inspired countless imitators (some of whom went on to become far more famous).
Now, 43 years later, the Descendents are revisiting the album that started it all.
