Descendents have shared THEIR NEW SINGLE “Without Love” off their forthcoming release Hypercaffium Spazzinate. This is the band’s first new album since 2004, the LP will be released July 29th via Epitaph.

Descendents’ first Epitaph release since Everything Sucks in 1996, Hypercaffium Spazzinate, began taking shape after the band ended an extended hiatus to play live in 2010. Though still tight, they lived apart: singer Milo Aukerman — whose cartoon rendering famously serves as the band’s logo — was now living in Delaware, bassist Karl Alvarez and founder and drummer Bill Stevenson were in Colorado, and guitarist Stephen Egerton had settled in Oklahoma. So the album came to life over three years as the band sent tracks back and forth, occasionally meeting up in Karl and Bill’s adopted hometown of Fort Collins. Adopting such a protracted process meant not having to rush things, allowing for some of their sharpest songwriting yet.

Descendents have also announced a fall tour, kicking off September 25 in Minneapolis at First Avenue before capping off November 12 in Portland at Roseland Theater. Additionally the band will perform at the Riot Fest Denver, Riot Fest Chicago, and Picnic in Pozo on September 24.
