"I'm the Descendents' drummer", he said at the time. Stevenson also joined Black Flag in early 1983, intending to be in both bands simultaneously. Cooper preferred playing guitar to singing, however, and the band would occasionally perform with Aukerman as a quintet during his return visits to Los Angeles. In his absence, the band-guitarist Frank Navetta, drummer Bill Stevenson, and bassist Tony Lombardo-recruited Ray Cooper as singer and continued performing locally for a time during 19. The Descendents' first full-length album, Milo Goes to College (1982), had been so named because singer Milo Aukerman was departing the band to attend college he enrolled at El Camino College for one year, then attended the University of California, San Diego from 1983–85, where he studied biology. Though recorded quickly and without much rehearsal time, I Don't Want to Grow Up received positive reviews from critics, who praised its catchy songs, strong melodies, and pop-influenced love songs. I Don't Want to Grow Up was the first of two albums the Descendents recorded with guitarist Ray Cooper, and their last with original bassist Tony Lombardo, who quit the group because he did not want to go on tour.
It marked the end of a two-year hiatus for the band, during which singer Milo Aukerman had attended college and drummer Bill Stevenson had joined Black Flag. I Don't Want to Grow Up is the second studio album by the American punk rock band the Descendents, released in 1985 through New Alliance Records.
