Milo Goes To College

“Milo Goes To College” is the debut studio album by the Descendents, originally released in 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 hardcore punk with melody and semi-ironic love songs led to it being considered one of the most significant albums of the early 1980’s southern California hardcore 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.

The copy for sale is an early 1990’s reissue by SST, used but in great shape.
