Throwback Thursday: Stephen Egerton discusses Descendents "Everything Sux"

Originally released as Episode 125 on October 17th, 2022, this Throwback Thursday episode features punk rock legend Stephen Egerton of Descendents and ALL. While he’d already cemented his place as an iconic guitarist by the mid-80s, it wasn’t until 1996’s Everything Sucks that he made his debut as a songwriter. Stephen takes listeners behind the scenes of the album’s hard-hitting title track — the first full song he ever wrote — sharing how it came together during a pivotal moment for the band after nearly a decade away from the studio. From basement demos to Bill Stevenson’s drum approach, this episode offers a unique look into the rebirth of one of punk’s most beloved bands.
