Descendents - Cool to Be You Descendents

In a scene that has been recently plagued by make-up and darkness, Descendents put some fun back in punk with a dose of bathroom humour, songs of love and life, catchy hooks, a caffeinated rhythm section and, of course, the mighty Milo on vocals.

Released in 2004, Cool to Be You showed that you could grow up, get a ‘real’ job and still play faster and louder than kids half your age. The album solidified their legacy as the band that put the ‘pop’ in punk without losing the ‘punk’ edge.
