Org Music<\/strong> is proud to announce the reissue of I Don\u2019t Want To Grow Up<\/em>, the landmark second album from legendary punk pioneers Descendents<\/strong>, arriving November 21, 2025<\/strong>. The reissue is available across formats\u2014LP, CD, and cassette\u2014alongside a special Punk Note<\/em> LP edition featuring alternate packaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This release marks the second instalment in Org Music\u2019s ongoing reissue campaign with Descendents, who recently reclaimed ownership of their master recordings. Following the acclaimed reissue of\u00a0Milo Goes To College<\/em>, this new edition brings fresh attention to one of the band\u2019s most beloved albums\u2014arriving just in time for its 40th anniversary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally released in 1985 on New Alliance Records, the label founded by Minutemen\u2019s D. Boon and Mike Watt, I Don\u2019t Want To Grow Up<\/em> was recorded after vocalist Milo Aukerman<\/strong> returned from college. It also marked the first of two albums to feature guitarist Ray Cooper<\/strong>. With brighter melodies and sharper hooks than its predecessor, the record helped the band avoid the dreaded sophomore slump while cementing their status as one of punk\u2019s most influential voices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the many formats, fans will find a standout: a limited Punk Note<\/em> edition designed by John Yates (Stealworks)<\/strong>. Inspired by the iconic Blue Note jazz label artwork of Reid Miles and Francis Wolff, these reimagined covers bring a bold, visual reinterpretation of punk history. The Punk Note<\/em> series began with Org Music\u2019s celebrated Bad Brains reissues, and continues here with deluxe case-wrapped jackets and new liner notes by BrooklynVegan<\/strong> senior editor Andrew Sacher<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
