Descendents at When We Were Young 2017 (more by Christina Chi Craig)

Descendents release protest song to benefit ACLU, Planned Parenthood, SPLC

Last year, the Descendents released Hypercaffium Spazzinate, their first album in 12 years and one that rivals their classic material. After the 2016 presidential election, the band recorded a new song, “Who We Are,” which is a “protest song that lashes out against racist, sexist, and anti-immigrant attitudes. With its hopeful message of resistance, the track ultimately calls on listeners to fight fascism and ‘defend the rights of every woman and man.'”

The single is out now and proceeds will go to the ACLU, Planned Parenthood, and the Southern Poverty Law Center. Pick it up at iTunes or stream it below via Spotify.

The band just played When We Were Young Fest in California, and they have more tour dates coming up, including NJ’s Starland Ballroom on December 2 (tickets).
