  • Milo Aukerman (born 1964 in Lomita, California) is an American singer, songwriter and research biochemist. Aukerman is perhaps most widely known for being the lead singer of the early Los Angeles area punk rock band the Descendents, a group widely considered to be pioneers of modern "pop punk". While not an original member, he joined after their first single (Ride the Wild/It's a Hectic World). The initial single had caricatures of the three original members, and the drawing used to symbolize Milo, invented by a high school classmate, was used on many of their albums afterwards and has since become a popular tattoo among fans (a notable example being Travis Barker the drummer for Blink-182). Aukerman has also provided backing vocals for other musicians, and, while attending college (between stints with the Descendents), briefly fronted the long-defunct San Diego band "Milestone" who released one independently-produced album. As a musician, Aukerman sings in a mid-range tenor, and his generally upbeat lyrics encompass such universal topics as girls/rejection, dependence upon caffeine, and the neverending quest for good food. He is known for his bespectacled, unabashedly nerdy persona and self-deprecating, "anti-rockstar" demeanor. Aukerman attended Mira Costa High School, with fellow members of the Descendents. Aukerman holds a Ph.D. in biochemistry from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and his passion for academic research within this field has caused the Descendents to be inactive for extended periods. The band is currently dormant. The first full length Descendents album (released in 1982) was titled Milo Goes to College, as he had gone to school at UC San Diego. Aukerman has been married since 1996 and is the father of two children. He claims that parenting is the most challenging thing he has ever done, although he has stated that being in a band has been more rewarding..
  • Milo Aukerman ist bekannt geworden als Bandleader und Sänger der Band The Descendents. Die Band nahm 1982 das Album "Milo goes to College" auf, benannt nach der Tatsache dass Aukerman zu dieser Zeit sein Collegestudium aufnahm. Eine Bandpause von 1987 bis 1996 nutzte er, um den Doktortitel in Biochemie zu erwerben. In dieser Zeit waren die übrigen Descendents-Musiker in der Band ALL aktiv. Aukerman lebt mittlerweile in Newark (Delaware), was für die Band ein organisatorisches Problem darstellt. Aukerman und die Descendents hatten in ihrer Karriere einen nicht abstreitbaren Einfluss auf die Entwicklung von Pop-Punk.
  • La sua figura enigmatica è forse maggiormente conosciuta poiché è il leader di una delle prime formazioni punk-rock di Los Angeles, i Descendents,un gruppo considerato tra i pionieri del moderno "power-pop". Le sue canzoni riguardano spesso l'essere rifiutato dalle ragazze, la dipendenza da caffeina, l'odio per tutto ciò che è moda e superficialità e la passione per il cibo. Particolarmente noto per la sua attitudine da nerd, autoironica e anti-rockstar che ha creato numerosi successori, tra cui Rivers Cuomo dei Weezer e Dexter Holland degli Offspring. La maggior parte delle cover dei cd dei Descendents raffigurano una grafica a cartone di Aukerman impegnato in varie attività, disegni che sono particolarmente cari a ogni fan della band. Milo ha conseguito un dottorato in biochimica all'Università del Wisconsin e tale attività lo ha portato ad assentarsi dalle file dei Descendents per vari anni. È sposato dal 1996 ed è padre di due bambini,e ha dichiarato che fare il genitore è la cosa più impegnativa che abbia mai fatto in vita sua.
