DESCENDENTS - I Don't Want To Grow Up 1985

The Descendents are an American punk rock band from Hermosa Beach, California and were formed in 1978 by guitarist Frank Navetta, bassist Tony Lombardo and drummer Bill Stevenson. ''A superb second album and the first thing that hits you is it's schizophrenic character, side one presents more of their catchy garage punk with satirical and scatological themes (some of which are overtly sexist), whereas side two highlights a newer sound that combines irresistible pop or countrified melodies, heavy punk guitars and reflective lyrics. I actually prefer the latter (especially "Silly Girl" and "Good Good Things"), which seem to result from Bill Stevenson's (ex-BLACK FLAG) influence.'' - Jeff Bale, Maximum Rocknroll #29, October 1985. Sensitive, emotional songs, and they're not corny! Classic - Classic - Classic!!!
