Descendents are a punk rock band from Lomita, California. They are one of the most influential punk bands ever and are known for being one of the early bands in the hardcore scene to sing about more personal topics reflective of their own lives. They were formed in 1978 by guitarist Frank Navetta, bassist Tony Lombardo and drummer Bill Stevenson. Shortly after forming they enlisted Milo Aukerman and made what started out a surf band into a full fledged punk unit. The Descendents diverged from their punk peers perhaps because of the Beach Boys influences and sang about topics that touched many young punk's lives like parents, food, girls and being rejected.
