Descendents Return with ‘Baby Doncha Know’ + New Album Coming This Year!

OG punk fans, this one’s for you. Descendents are steamrolling back to their prime this July with ninth studio album, 9th & Walnut, and damn! This’ll take you way back to before even most of us were even born! The album will feature a whopping 18 tracks that have been recorded throughout the band’s career from way back in 1977 to 1980.

Drummer Bill Stevenson has given us a sneak peek into what we can expect from the retrospective that was named after their old rehearsal space in Long Beach with new single ‘Baby Doncha Know’ and it’s a classic piece of punk rock that kinda ends just a tad too soon:

’Baby Doncha Know’ was maybe the 5th song we learned. We would go out to 9th & Walnut every weekend and practice all day. I mainly just remember being in awe of how ‘a kid my age, who goes to my high school’ could have written all these cool songs. Frank seemed to have a maturity beyond his years. I never asked him who or what it was about. I was just happy to be there with him and Tony.”

9th & Walnut is out July 23 through Epitaph Records. Pre-order here
