That's not a stretch - it is what I would call WRONG.

Here’s the fun fact in question
REVHQ FUN FACT
---------------
Dave Smalley is, of course, best known as the one-time vocalist of Washington, DC's Dag Nasty. Through the years, he has been the frontman for numerous bands. Coincidentally, the names of most of these bands start with the letter "D." DYS, Dag Nasty, and Down By Law are all filed under "D." His new band, Don't Sleep, matches both initials. Even his band ALL was once called the Descendents.
We asked Dave to shed light on this fact. Here is what he had to say: "Great eye. Yes, it has been a constant through my career. Not planned, ever, but a really cool and frankly mysterious coincidence. I too thought of that Descendents connection, which was about the time I started to realize the trend. The guys in Don't Sleep definitely were having fun with it. I think that's the only one that's been intentional. I guess it means I can never join Metallica!"
