(Earshot) Org Music continues its comprehensive Descendents reissue series with Enjoy!, the third installment in the campaign celebrating the band's foundational catalog and the latest release since the group reclaimed ownership of their master recordings. Originally released in 1986, Enjoy! captures Descendents pushing fully into their instincts, doubling down on short, fast, melody-driven songs that balance juvenile humor with sharpened songwriting and unmistakable urgency.
While the band had already helped define what would become pop punk, Enjoy! finds them expanding the formula without losing intensity. Tracks like "Hurtin' Crue" and "Get the Time" channel irreverence through speed, melody, and tension, while subtle new wave and pop touches-including a punked-up take on The Beach Boys' "Wendy"-broaden the band's sound without dulling its edge. Forty years on, Enjoy! remains a defining entry in the Descendents catalog and a crucial document of the band's restless evolution.
This new edition is out now on LP, CD, and cassette, with multiple color-vinyl variants. Produced in close collaboration with the band, the reissue brings Enjoy! back into print across formats with careful attention to presentation and detail.
Among the vinyl offerings is a limited "Punk Note" edition featuring alternate packaging by John Yates (Stealworks), inspired by the iconic jazz designs of Reid Miles and Francis Wolff, whose work helped define the Blue Note label. This visual reimagining of punk classics continues the aesthetic series that began with Org Music's Bad Brains reissues. Each "Punk Note" title includes new liner notes by BrooklynVegan senior editor Andrew Sacher and is housed in a deluxe case-wrapped jacket.
The Enjoy! reissue follows Org Music's widely praised reissues of Milo Goes to College and I Don't Want to Grow Up, forming the third chapter in an ongoing archival series dedicated to keeping Descendents' core albums in print across formats for longtime fans and new listeners alike.
