Alright, instead of giving a lengthy description of these tracks, I’m just gonna discuss something that drives me nuts. Why do the Descendents get jocked so hard on here, but no one discusses All. They were, for songwriting purposes, the same band. Bill Stevenson wrote all the best songs for both bands, and the best All songs are just as good as the best Descendents songs. Both bands had some serious stinkers too.

So, what are these songs? Well, the Descendents album with the art that gets ripped off by everyone was originally… an All album. That’s what these recordings are. All recorded demos that would have been Everything Sucks with Chad Price on vocals. After they were recorded Milo Aukerman expressed interest in reforming The Descendents, and they ended up recording many of the songs from the initial Everything Sucks demos for the proper album, as well as a few new songs. Other tracks from that sessions ended up on the next All record, and other songs found here were never released!

In a nutshell, if you listen to The Descendents, but not All, you’re latching onto a logo and not paying much attention to the music.

Note: The only reason I included Descendents in the title was to get your attention.

Fact: I knew All long before who the Descendents were.
