Descendents

In January 1985, the Descendents were riding high on the momentum from their iconic album "Milo Goes to College," which had been released just a year prior, in 1982. This album is often credited with helping to shape the punk rock genre and is particularly notable for its thematic exploration of adolescence and relationships. The live performance of "Marriage" captured in the video showcases the band's energetic style and clever songwriting, elements that contributed to their enduring influence in the punk scene. Interestingly, the Descendents are known for their distinct blend of punk rock with elements of pop and humor, a characteristic that is evident in both their studio work and live shows. By 1985, the band was not only solidifying their reputation but also beginning to explore deeper lyrical themes, setting the stage for their future albums and the evolution of their sound.
