Description
‘Milo Goes To College’ is the debut studio album by American punk rockers Descendents, released on 4th September 1982 through New Alliance Records.
Its title refers to singer Milo Aukerman’s decision to leave the band to attend college, and its cover illustration introduced a caricature of him that would go on to become the band’s mascot.
The album’s mix of fast and aggressive punk with melody and semi-ironic love songs led to it being considered one of the most significant albums of the early 1980s southern California punk movement. In the decades since its release, it has received highly positive reviews and is now considered among the most noteworthy and important punk albums by several publications. ‘Milo Goes to College’ has been cited as influential and a favourite by several notable artists and musicians. It is considered by many to be a foundational record for the pop-punk genre.
