Electric Ink did an interview with punk band The Descendents. The following is an excerpt:

EI: Are there any old bands you used to listen to, but are embarrassed to admit to it?

Milo (singer): Oh yeah, we went through a little Smiths thing. That's like a guilty pleasure thing for me. There's a lot of guilty pleasures like Cheap Trick that I was really into. You know, In Color was another one.

Bill (drummer): Cheap Trick rules! I don't think that's a guilty pleasure. Guilty pleasure is like.......Journey.

  • These guys were huge, in the punk scene right around when the Smiths were at their peak. It is great to hear that the proud, the few, Descendents were also fans of our Smiths. Also, pick up Somery, their greatest hits album. It is full of angry teenage angst.

  • The Descendents are (were?) good, but I'm getting sick of the Journey-bashing thing - Journey were good, definitely.
