DESCENDENTS Teach You The Punk Rock Way To Make Coffee and the Story Of Bill Stevenson's Bonus Cup

#DESCENDENTS #Coffee #Suffrage
DESCENDENTS AND THE PERFECT CUP OF COFFEE
Forget drugs: The undisputed masters of melodic hardcore swear by the power of the bean.
SoCal punk legends Descendents are known for three things. First, their mastery of what has now been termed “melodic hardcore.” Second, the quaint line drawing of their lead singer Milo Aukerman they’ve adopted as a mascot logo of sorts. Last but not least is their legendary penchant for consuming coffee. And not that Frappuccino, moo-latte ice-cream-shop gunk you’ve been dropping big bucks for. Here, Aukerman and drummer Bill Stevenson confess all of their coffee madness to APTV’s Bobby Makar.
The story of Descendents’ java fixation started long before Black Flag wrote the quintessential love song for the dark stuff. Here, Aukerman and Stevenson reveal their special relationship with the drink that has practically defined their band.

Usually ALL, but Hypercaffium Spazzinate is great in the morning.

[@hunterdavis3003]

Kids on coffee......duh

[@osakashiba9792]

I don’t wanna grow up!!!

[@supergamer-tt8lq]

For me i'd say I don't want to grow up followed by Milo Goes to College

[@ACA_88]

Currently Enjoy! Then Milo Goes to College with my second cup.

[@NostalgiaCassetteCity]

"A dark as a politician's heart" god Karl seems like the best dude ever

[@alwaysevolving281]

Of course Milo is the one to reference his recipe in grams, ml, and fahrenheit. haha.

[@jamesdereybekill755]

I'm not mad at this Definitely not

[@dannielhmora]

Another reason to love him

[@pentagonoenllamas]

I have to make everything this way, because otherwise everything that enters my kitchen becomes non-edible.

[@seanstewart8943]

college boy😆

[@CretinH]

Alot of Americans use metric but using celsius is treason

[@paulmason6127]

I’m convinced Bill Stevenson is the nicest punk musician in the world. Good stuff...thanks AP!

[@altpress]

He really is. His voice made me want to brew coffee. Two pots were brewed and consumed in the editing process of this video. So stoked that you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

[@Curly_Captures]

Yeah, I saw them play last year and the thing that stuck with me was the fact that Bill was just smiling all the way through the show.

[@johnchedsey1306]

It's also so nice to see how healthy and happy he's looking these days.

[@Cash_Lovell]

ALL of them are, I love them ALL and would love to meet them one day

[@thirtyworld]

Bill is freaking adorable. They're lucky to have him as a friend and bandmate.

[@ispearedbritney]

Bill: I wasn't into drugs. Later: I needed caffeine or I couldn't function, I needed twelve espressos just to get through practice. I chugged an entire thermos of espresso while playing, I gotta be crazy wired just to sort it out. I was like adderall guy." Bahahaha oh Bill

[@RubesGoodBrainCoffee]

Back when 'Everything Sux' came out, I was working at a coffee shop in Raleigh. Knowing how much they were into coffee themselves, I drew a picture of Milo on the menu board with the day's specials. A few days later one of the owners told me that he had erased it. I was truly shocked and asked him why. His response: 'That's not the sort of customers we want to attract'! Incidentally, I was really relieved that Milo's recipe was the 'best' -- i.e., the most scientifically sound. Watching this with my kids, I explained to them that this made sense, though, considering that he's literally a scientist. Great video! This was a lot of fun!

[@lisachavis1111]

20:05 I’m dying! Favorite band since my teenage years...I’m now 43. Even my license plate is DSNDNTS...they’ll always have my heart lol. Great watch...

[@OnPointFirearms]

Bear license plate ever. Well done!

NO! ALL!

[@crayonpepper]

NO ALL!!!!!!

[@evacuatedheaven1062]

"Little bit of coffee" at 4:35 is insane.

[@daveprolegal]

The world needed this video! How can you not love these guys!!!

[@altpress]

They’re the best! So glad you enjoyed it! mugmugmug

[@GMurphysJacuzzi]

Getting to see The Descendents in 2017 in Jacksonville was one of the best shows it was an honor meeting Milo and watching the band play their heart out

[@MrVisde]

“When we start doing shows, I have about 8 espressos all at once...” 🤣

[@garyleija]

Hard to explain how much I love these guys.

[@nickaf1114]

No lie, that Bonus Blend is amazing!

[@CapitainePooplerigolo]

Watching those punk boomers passionately talking about coffee feels more wholesome to me than it should.

[@theorncampbell4432]

I'm not a coffee drinker and not even a huge fan of the Descendents, but these guys entertained the hell out of me with this video. I might have to revisit some of their music! Cheers!

[@trythisathome5558]

One of my favorite band interactions ever is talking to Bill Stevenson about coffee. It wasn't an interview, just talking and hanging out. Super fun. That being said I don't know how he doesn't shit himself drinking that much coffee.

[@Ren_1312]

That was my thought. How did you not poop your pants on the boat. Was there a toilet? A bucket? The ocean?

[@trythisathome5558]

@@Ren_1312 Chumming the waters? 🤮

[@ikusagami814]

the best thing is when he had heart surgery his doctor said that he shouldn't drink coffee but nonetheless he drank around 18 cups of coffee after that xd

[@trythisathome5558]

@@ikusagami814 yeah, when we talked he said he was really bummed that his cardiologist told him he couldn't do Bulletproof coffee anymore (which is coffee with butter and/or coconut oil.) Why am I not shocked 😆

[@giposting]

i have a elevated heart rate just from watching this lol

[@johnchedsey1306]

I once went with Karl Alvarez to a Mike Watt show in Boulder, CO, back in 1998. We stopped at a nearby coffee shop to get a little caffeine beforehand. I placed my order first and then Karl orders a 16 ounce espresso. The place literally goes silent and the barista asked "are you sure?" Karl was like "what's so weird about this?" Those people clearly had no idea they were dealing with a caffeine pro.

[@joewagner4593]

I was at that show, I think. The Secondmen tour? Wish I would've known Karl was there. Cool times man!

[@benweaver9151]

*MUG MUG MUG*

[@joerichardson287]

This is a video I never knew I needed so much.

[@Vespawood1]

Bill was hilarious in this video, just so awesome. But when Milo said you have to redefine what All is, I about lost it. This is gold!

[@ryanshinermusic]

ALL!

[@JaySway17]

It's amazing how these guys defy all punk stereotypes and are in my opinion one of the greatest of all time and I'm talking top 3.

[@bambitheboy]

Just love those guys

[@mbrighton1802]

They should change their name to BALLD. I love these guys.

[@Oooga-Chaka]

I love how calm Stephen is the whole time.

[@flashthompson7]

[@paulbeahm3891]

The punk rock way to make coffee: Yell as many words as you can as fast as you can at it until it boils.

[@EasyCure0]

just gather a bunch of your bros and grind those beans in the pit

[@samuelblinne6040]

Awesome

[@milesr94]

Just made a coffee, perfect timing! Love everything about this band 🖤

[@elijahcollier8348]

My 1st show in 95 (maybe 96):Descendents in Nashville at 328 hall. Wild af

[@RatKing1991]

Most people would want to have a beer with their famous rockstar... I want Milo to make me a coffee!

[@乁-j2s]

Daddies! You should buy a super automatic espresso machine like Phillips Series .If you adjust the grinder at number 1 you can make your bonus cup : it is like super strong espresso! Convenient with just one button . Milo I recommend for you the Philips 2200 Series it is cheap and good machine.

[@LEOPiC]

"Dad you have to press OK"

[@fernandonepo8438]

"Oh, ok... Stop... PAUSE!!"

[@dan8346]

Bonus bonus bonus bonus bonus. KIDS ON COFFEE.

Remember when punk rock was against the whole establishment?

[@nicholasmathieu2017]

"hey dude you gotta relax...". Lol

[@nuglife6669]

I got a picture with Milo getting Starbucks!!

[@robmitchell13]

Freedom of Espresso was guaranteed to us in the Allstitution and we all need to exercise that fundamental human right.

[@websterbrandcoaching9724]

They say don’t meet your heroes…and now I do here via social media and realize they’re basically addicts. 😂

How did they not play a clip of the song coffee mug

[@ArthurFrentzel-u6q]

What year did you guys come up with the bonus cup? I had bonus cup circa 1992 AD.

[@ArthurFrentzel-u6q]

I just realized your Bass Player looks like the Bassist I am in a band with.... Did I also meet you at a drum circle Milo?

[@contemptcreatorarthurave4042]

Noah Zark.

[@nicholasmathieu2017]

Check out the spoon during the bonus cup section...

[@Curt.dammit]

Nothing like doing bonus cups at 4am.

[@1thess523]

Black Rifle Murdered Out coffee

[@michaellupu2080]

I was sure Milo would be into Aeropress coffee!

[@punkrocktv8229]

Grind it fine like powder and oily beans , yum.......damn i put mine in fridge too, never let it sit on the burner...now if i could just play guitar like Stephan. Used to do the instant too like mud...the best for the money is costco joses medium dark roast...its cheap and good. I have the sam coffee grinder as Karl, but his coffee is way to weak, watch the pour color.

[@MrChronicplant]

That's the grinder my parents have.

[@nicholasmathieu2017]

Egerton'$ got it made!

[@Doorkicker505]

I was feel a little left out when people talk about coffee. I am allergic to coffee. It makes me very ill. I can't drink it , not even a sip

[@unosturgis]

haha I use an aeropress too but I use 25 grams of coffee

[@grahamgerling3033]

me wondering where the fuck the aeropress is when milo comes in and saves the day

[@saturdaynightkaraokeblah]

GREATEST VIDEO DURING THIS SHITTY TIME

[@WhatEdThinks]

Good coffee needs good water.

[@nicholasmathieu2017]

Milo must create smell-0-vision for the standard PC or Apple!

[@m.kidwell80]

This just needs to be said. Light Roast has more caffeine & it tastes better.

[@rickyhell4440]

mILO

[@ralphtom3431]

Bill you already had a heart attack calm down mug mug mug mug mug

[@biscuitsforbreakfast460]

These guys love caffeine. Every interview is about coffee

[@dannielhmora]

I wish Milo was my uncle or something

[@dknox90803]

Honey in coffee?

[@tomrichardsadvancedrolfer]

Love you guys. You know what would be awesome? I just wish Bill would do an online drum clinic.

[@craignesbitt7856]

My go to coffee is Black Rifle Coffee For my super caffine kick, i cold brew the Fit Fuel blend. After 1 20oz tumbler of that I am ready to go and face the day

[@OnPointFirearms]

I wonder if all that sugar over the years gave Bill his tumor.

[@anthonyeh7985]

I like how none of them know how to make particularly great coffee except Milo, and even he kind of biffs the process!

[@xx7secondsxx]

MUG MUG MUG! lmafo Dude, as someone whoms Experimented with EVERYTHING!! The 2 strongest chemicals I've EVER ingested.... Alcohol and Caffeine! When they sez "the espresso was too much!" It's no LIE! I'd sleep an hour and 15 mins in 2 days because of insomnia and I was a 3rd shift pastry chef. Id get intoxicated and eat 20 benadryl a day to sleep for my 15 hour shift. I'd sleep maybe 45 mins if I was lucky. Be in a daze at work. I'd drink a 9 doubleshot espresso in one go! When if come home... my exfiance would be "you to do it again last nite?" And shed kno! Before her I'd be outside the Liqra store at 9:55 am when they opened at 10! Av I could fix me. Caffeine is NO JOKE!!! It's a powerful LEGAL pharmaceutical! Like alcohol... it's a legal supplement that's as dangerous as heroin or cocaine

[@wide_awake]

Was that like grinder THC Karl put in his coffee??

[@trythisathome5558]

#hippiespeedball

[@nicholasmathieu2017]

all disgusting accounts of punk rock coffee

[@glx484]

Wow. Milo goes to the hospital because of diabetes.

[@ralphtom3431]

This is not good advice for anyone to take drinking all this coffee plus 5-hour Energy you're looking for a heart attack or stroke especially if you're over 40

[@freemandiaz5123]

This didn't age well. Get well Milo.
