This week we discuss the speedy and technical ALL. ALL was formed by members of the Descendants after singer Milo Aukerman left to pursue a career in biochemistry. While they had a revolving door of vocalists over the years, the core 3 members, Bill Stevenson (of Black Flag), Karl Alvarez, and Stephen Egerton remained constant. ALL’s early material is wacky, technical, and legitimately proggy, however they became full blown pop punk by the mid 90s. Good stuff, but not if you hate pop punk.
Closing track: “Fool” from Allroy’s Revenge (1989)
