Before he became the voice of Descendents, Milo Aukerman was simply one of their earliest fans.

Milo first met Bill Stevenson at Mira Costa High School. They weren’t really friends at first, more like acquaintances. That changed one day during lunch break, when Milo spotted Bill selling copies of Descendents’ debut single, “Ride the Wild” / “It’s a Hectic World.” Milo bought a copy, and after hearing it, he was hooked. Descendents quickly became his favorite band.

From then on, Milo started showing up at the band’s practices and gigs. At the time, Cecilia Loera was the band’s vocalist, but she often wasn’t around for rehearsals. Milo, who regularly attended the band’s practices at The Church, an abandoned former First Baptist Church in Hermosa Beach that also served as a rehearsal space for Black Flag, eventually found himself standing in front of the microphone.

Milo didn’t even know how to sing, but that didn’t stop him. He grabbed the mic and sang with all the energy and enthusiasm he could muster. His aggressive vocal approach was partly influenced by Black Flag vocalist Dez Cadena and the intensity he brought to the microphone.

Milo eventually became the permanent voice of Descendents, and the band soon began working on what would become their iconic debut album, Milo Goes to College.

But Milo’s influence on Descendents went beyond his voice. The character that became the band’s iconic mascot was originally created by Rodger Deuerlein, a classmate of Milo and Bill at Mira Costa High School. Deuerlein would tease Milo by drawing comic strips portraying him as the class nerd. For the cover of Milo Goes to College, Bill asked his friend Jeff “Rat” Atkinson to create his own interpretation of Deuerlein’s Milo character.

That illustration would become one of the most recognizable images in punk rock.
