Descendents

Not ones to rest on their laurels, this L.A.-based punk rock band that dates back to the late '70s is currently touring in support of its new album, 9th & Walnut. The album features the bands’ earliest material written from 1976 through 1980. The group started re-recording these songs in 2002 and finally issued the final product last year. Surprisingly melodic songs such as "Crepe Suzette" and"Nightage" feature snotty vocals and thick guitar riffs. The show starts at 7 tonight at House of Blues.
