Descendents singer Milo Aukerman suffered a mild heart attack on Thursday night (July 27th). As a result, the legendary punk band canceled its summer UK/European tour, which was set to kick off tonight (July 28th) in Barcelona, Spain.
“We are truly sorry, but we have to cancel the upcoming European shows,” the band wrote on its social pages. “Our singer, Milo, had a mild heart attack last night. He’s doing fine, and is expected to make a full recovery from surgery, but will need a few weeks to recover before we can hit the road again. Hope to see you soon.”
The 60-year-old Aukerman joined Descendents in 1980, and subsequently recorded the group’s iconic debut album, Milo Goes to College. He has fronted the band ever since (albeit with a few hiatuses along the way), recording seven more full-length LPs.
As of now, Descendents are scheduled to resume touring August 12th in Portland,...

Last year, in the middle of pandemic lockdown, Milo Aukerman got a unique opportunity: the chance to sing a handful of songs that he never even knew existed from the back catalog of the Descendents, the pioneering California punk outfit he’s fronted on and off for more than 40 years.
Dating from the first few years after the band’s 1977 formation, the songs — along with many that Aukerman did perform after he joined in 1980 — will finally see release this summer on 9th & Walnut, a newly completed album named after the...

Descendents celebrate the demise of the Trump administration on the punk legends’ new song “That’s the Breaks,” the follow-up to their pre-Election Day EP Suffrage.
“Loser. Big time loser. Delusional loser. Sore loser. The time has come. The time is now. Just go, go, Go. I don’t care how. Donald J.

The Descendents’ Milo Aukerman has released a trio of protest songs performed on the ukulele under the clever moniker RebUke.
Per a press release, the three songs on 45… Not a LP examine the current political state of the United Sates, and how outrage and uncertainty have only grown over the years. Aukerman originally wrote the songs for the next Descendents record, but decided they were too urgent and needed to be released ahead of the 2020 elections.
