11	ALL is an American punk band consisting currently of Chad Price(vocals), Stephen Edgerton(guitar), Karl Alvarez(bass), and Bill Stevenson(drums).
12
13	The band is fairly unique in that they are TheBandMinusTheFace. Formed after Milo Aukerman left his previous band Music/{{Descendents}} in 1987, ALL continued to make similar "working class nerd" punk to the Descendents, working with 3 vocalists- but started taking a significant detour into the AlternativeRock and SkaPunk genres. Both bands have covered each others's songs live. However, Descendents are more well known among mass audiences.

15	!!This band has examples of:
16
17	* CrazyIsCool: The core belief of ALL can be summed up by that trope.
18	* DarkerAndEdgier: Lyrically speaking, ALL tends to deal with darker topics than Descendents did.
19	* GenreShift: In the mid-1990s, the band shifted from similar melodic hardcore to the Descendents to AlternativeRock and PopPunk, with ''Pummel'' shifting into HardcorePunk again briefly, inspired by bands like Zeke and Music/AtTheDriveIn. After the mid-90s they shifted into Skate Punk and SkaPunk.
20	* HarshVocals: Chad Price brought harsh vocal stylings to the band with ''Pummel''.
21	* {{Mascot}}: Allroy, a caricature of guitarist Stephen Edgerton.
22	* OdeToSobriety: "Just Perfect", "Scary Sad"
23	* PopPunk: Moreso than the Descendents, especially during the Scott Reynolds era.
