Melodic hardcore pioneers the Descendents recently played a show benefiting Punk Rock & Paintbrushes at Saint Rocke in Hermosa Beach, CA-- and they didn't come alone. Numerous special guests joined Milo Aukerman and company on stage to play Descendents classics and even cover some Black Flag tracks.
Photos from the show have started rolling out on social media (courtesy of photographer Alan Snodgrass), showcasing the star-studded lineup. Alkaline Trio frontman Matt Skiba was on hand to perform vocals on "Clean Sheets" and "Get the Time."

Punk Rock & Paintbrushes is an art management and art show production company that combines painting with punk rock. Emily Nielsen founded the brand in 2014. This past summer, Punk Rock & Paintbrushes was devastated when an art show they were attending in Denver, CO was hit by a hail storm, destroying most of their artwork. The Descendents stepped in to headline this month's benefit show to help Punk Rock & Paintbrushes rebuild. A friend of Nielsen's also launched a GoFundMe campaign benefiting the company back in July. It's since raised $6,701.
