Cende

Cende was an American indie rock band from Brooklyn, New York. The group consisted of singer and guitarist Cameron Wisch, drummer Greg Rutkin, bassist Bernard Casserly and guitarist Dave Medina. The group began under the name "Downies", releasing their debut EP under the name. After the release, the group changed their name to Cende, as a reference someone wearing a flannel shirt over a Descendents shirt, making only the letters cende visible.
