Descendents Return For First Time In Five Years

Seminal Californian punk rockers Descendents are switching up SoCal surf for Sydney sand very soon, when they return to Australia for the first time since 2012.

The influential punks will have their latest — and seventh — full-length, Hypercaffium Spazzinate, in hand as they showcase a bunch of new songs, as well as the fast-paced, snotty punk songs that made us love them in the first place and impact an entire generation of punk bands.

Hypercaffium Spazzinate also marks the band's return to the studio, with their last album, Cool To Be You, released 12 years ago in 2004. The new album has already spawned singles Victim Of Me and Without Love.

The band's national tour will start on 16 February in Adelaide, before moving along to Perth, Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney until 24 February.
