Editing Descendents (section)

=== New singles and ''9th & Walnut'' (2018–present) ===
In a March 2019 interview with ''[[OC Register]]'', Aukerman revealed that Descendents were working on a new album: "When we put out the last record we thought, 'OK, I bet we could put out another record after this one and not wait a decade to do it.' It was such a rewarding experience and you know what? Our fans deserve better. They deserve more than a record every decade or so. We started writing almost immediately after that record was done. I have been writing and Stephen (Egerton) has really picked up the mantle, too. Between us I think we have like 20 songs written and Bill (Stevenson) and Karl (Alvarez) have been writing songs as well. We've done some basic tracking, but it's still a work in progress but I hope we'll have something out by the end of the year."<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.ocregister.com/three-punk-rock-vocalists-with-phds-talk-new-music-tacos-and-politics-ahead-of-the-sabroso-fest-in-dana-point|title=Three punk rock vocalists with PhDs talk new music, tacos and politics ahead of the Sabroso fest in Dana Point|website=Ocregister.com|date=March 29, 2019}}</ref>

On May 4, 2021, the band put out a single called "Baby Doncha Know" and announced their eighth album that would be released on July 23 titled ''[[9th & Walnut]],'' named after the intersection in [[Long Beach, California]], where their first rehearsal space was located. The album was recorded primarily during a 2002 session featuring the original lineup of Stevenson, Frank Navetta, and Tony Lombardo, with Milo Aukerman recording his lead vocals for the album at home in [[Delaware]] during the [[COVID-19 pandemic]]. It contains eighteen songs written by the band between 1977 and 1981, including re-recorded versions of "Ride the Wild" and "It's a Hectic World". The album serves as the band's first recording since ''Everything Sucks'' to feature this "classic" lineup.<ref>{{Cite web|date=May 4, 2021|title=Descendents Return with New Album '9th & Walnut'|url=https://exclaim.ca/music/article/descendents_return_with_new_album_9th_and_walnut|access-date=May 4, 2021|website=[[Exclaim!]]}}</ref>
