Hypercaffium Spazzinate by Descendents

Hypercaffium Spazzinate, released on Epitaph Records on July 29, 2016, was the seventh studio album from the Descendents and their first since Cool to Be You in 2004. Drummer Bill Stevenson produced it, and the lineup was the long-standing crew of singer Milo Aukerman, guitarist Stephen Egerton and bassist Karl Alvarez.

A dozen years away and the band hasn't lost a step: these are short, fast, hook-stuffed punk songs, played with the caffeine-jolt energy the title promises and the melodic smarts that made the Manhattan Beach band a pillar of the old Los Angeles hardcore scene. "Victim of Me" is the pick, a sharp, catchy blast that's over before you can catch your breath. It also became their highest-charting album, peaking at number 20 on the Billboard 200.
