PO: Descendents - 9th & Walnut


Recommended Posts

My first (of way too many) copyĀ showed up today and I gave it a quick spin. Looking forward to spending some more time with it but first impression is that it has a heavy 70s surf rock feel to it and I love it. I think it fits perfectly in between Hectic World / Ride The Wild and the Fat EP or Milo Goes to College. Anyone who wasnā€™t paying attention to what it was when they ordered this and is expecting a ā€œnewā€ Descendents record will be in for a big surprise.Ā

Coretex has an aqua / 325 and an indie edition electric blue. I think that brings the total up to ten different versionsĀ šŸ„“

To avoid further confusion: it is not /325 but it is "375". "375 Media" is a big distributor and they started some time ago (this year? did not notice it earlier) distributing exclusive variants. It does not represent the pressing number of their variants, afaik.

Thanks for the clarification. Didnā€™t realize this and was a poor assumption on my part that it was a Core Tex exclusive.Ā

A package from Kings Road popped up on my USPS app so it looks like these are starting to ship.Ā

I'm seeing Descendents open for Rise Against in a couple weeks and I wonder if they're gonna start playing any of these songs.

They've been practicing some songs from this so, they'll play a couple.

This being the original lineup was the major selling point for me. Their original sound has never really been duplicated that well, but as soon as I heard the first new track, it instantly had that ā€œthingā€ that I guess only the 4 of these guys in a room together can yield. Canā€™t wait to spin this!Ā

Gave this a full listen this morning. Itā€™s incredible. I donā€™t think it really sunk in for me how special this release was until I listened to it front to back. Frank and Tony playing onĀ this is very noticeable. I donā€™t thinkĀ Iā€™ve ever heard a band release a ā€œnewā€ record that sounded so close to their roots. Itā€™s really cool that they arenā€™tĀ tryingĀ to mimic a past sound or feel, but that itĀ is a past sound and feel.Ā Itā€™s a perfect pre-cursor to ..College. During the first listen Grudge and Lullaby really stuck out to me. This will be in heavy rotation for me for a long time.Ā

I totally agree with you! The new Descendents record has that classic 70s surf rock vibe, and it's a refreshing change from their previous releases. It's like a perfect blend of their earlier works like "Hectic World" and "Ride The Wild" combined with the energy of "Milo Goes to College." I can't wait to dive deeper into the album and explore all the nuances. It's essential to approach it with an open mind, understanding that it's a unique creation. Kudos to the band for keeping their sound fresh and exciting!

I got the 7" at their Baltimore date. $15 + tax. This was the first time out of hundreds of shows I've been to where I went to buy merch and they refused cash. Insane to me, especially a punk show, but I guess that's becoming more of a thing. I haven't played it yet but I got the red/500. No insert, just the record and jacket in shrink wrap. A guy next to me bought the signed copy for $60 and it was white with blue and red splatter which sold out pretty quick. Apparently some people bought the signed at other dates and still got the red variant.
