The Descendents is one of the most iconic punk bands in the past few decades. Formed in 1977 in Manhattan Beach, the band went through many changes, transitions, and hiatus. At one point, the band had an offshoot with ALL.

In the end, their music affected many fans and the bands’ story was brought to life in the music documentary Filmage: The Story of Descendents/ALL.

Here’s the synopsis:

Long before punk rock inflicted its puncture wound on the map of mainstream music, the Descendents were in a van brewing a potent mix of pop, angst, love, and coffee and influencing a generation to come. Interviews with the band and contemporaries such as David Grohl (Foo Fighters), Mark Hoppus (Blink-182), Mike Watt (Minutemen, Brett Gurewitz (Bad Religion), and others reveal the untold tale of one of the most overachieving and influential bands in punk.
