BARNEY COLLINS NEWS.

What The Buzzcocks were to first wave English punk, The Descendents are to second wave American punk, they invented an entire sound that is replicated to this day.

The 1982 release Milo Goes To College is a trailblazing masterclass of melodic punk.

15 songs in 22 minutes seems possible for quirky bands, but these 15 songs are as full as any Beatles classic, as fast as the fastest Ramones number and singularly responsible for a sound and litany of artists in their influence.

The night will feature the album in its entirety, performed by a long and growing list of modern and old-school enthusiasts.

Signed on early are the members of Split Sceen, Killswitch, Slerdpink, Trash Baby and LITTER.

As with all the Barney Collins Biannual’s, these nights double as fundraisers and an opportunity to see some modern original talent as the openers.

Come, sing along and dance like it’s 1982.
