Milo Goes to College

Milo Goes to College is the first LP by the American punk rock band the Descendents, having been preceded by 1981’s Fat EP. The album was released in 1982 through New Alliance Records.

The cover illustration is a caricature of Milo Aukerman that would go on to become the band’s mascot.

It was the Descendents' last album with founding guitarist Frank Navetta, who quit the band during the hiatus that followed its release. (Navetta would return for one song on 1996’s Everything Sucks.)

The album is one of the first melodic punk albums ever and one of the most important. It has been cited as a major influence to bands such as Blink-182, NOFX, Lagwagon, Face to Face, Pennywise, Less Than Jake, and many other influential artists. This album is a landmark of the punk rock genre and continues to inspire young angst ridden kids who like coffee just a little too much to this very day.
