Milo Jay Aukerman (born January 1, 1963) is an American singer, songwriter, and former research molecular biologist. Aukerman is most widely known for being the lead vocalist of the punk rock band the Descendents, a group widely considered to be pioneers of pop-punk. A caricature of Aukerman serves as the band’s mascot.
“In high school, one of our classmates named Roger Deuerline would just draw that little head,” explains drummer Bill Stevenson. “We were in ninth grade at the time. He was kind of making fun of Milo, because they were close friends, and he’d draw simple comic strips called The Mishaps of Milo, which would play up to the side of Milo as the absent-minded genius. “Eventually, we stumped the little stick figure on one of our albums and as time went on we found ourselves putting him in all sorts of different settings and contexts.”
